Bring the match that we just cut  out into a new 1680×1050 document. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 2 Downsize your match to about 60% and fill the background with black. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 3 Now before we go any further, I want to establish a line with my  guide so we can have everything sitting on the same spot horizontally. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 4 Go ahead and open up the truck image in Photoshop. Let’s start out by  fixing a couple things. First off this truck is going to be flipped  when we bring it into our other document, so we want make sure the text  on the side will be facing the right way. Go into  edit>transform>flip horizontally. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 5 Using the square marquee tool, create a box around the emblem on the  door. Do control + J to duplicate that area, then go to  edit>transform>flip horizontally. Now click on the mask icon at  the bottom of the layers window (the square with a circle in the middle  of it). Paint, with a 0% hard black brush around the emblem we  duplicated. Be careful as to get rid of the unwanted lines, but make  sure the old emblem doesn’t show through. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 6 Repeat step 5 with the decal on the back. Afterwards, cut out the  truck, including the windows. Merge the truck layer with the emblem  layers by linking them then control + e to merge them together. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 7 Load the path (control + click on the path) that you made to cut out  the truck (in the paths tab of the layers palette). Do control + shift +  I to get the inverse selection and delete. Then fill the background  with black Since there will be no sky in our final image, we need to get rid of  the blue reflections. So to do this go into  image>adjustments>replace color. Click on a blue area and adjust  the settings as I have below. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 8 Since the flames are going to be coming from the back of the truck we  are going to darken the front side. Load the truck by control +  clicking on the truck layer, and then, using a black to 0% opacity  gradient, create a gradient from right to left. Change the opacity of  the layer to 80%. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 9 Now we are going to adjust the curves, so open it up with control + m and adjust it as I have below. We are also going to drop down the saturation so do control + u to open up the hue/saturation window. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 10 Now we are going to change the color balance. Using control + b go  into color balance and adjust the settings as I have done below. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 11 Merge the truck layer and gradient layer, and bring it into our document. Using control + t, resize the truck to 20%. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 12 Go onto <a href="http://imageafter.com/search.php?search=fire&x=0&y=0" target="_blank">Image After</a>  and grab some fire images. Change the blend mode of each one to  lighten, this will make it so you don’t have to cut them out, the black  will just disappear. Using control + u change the saturation to -40 for  each one. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 13 Now we are going to have the top of the match fade into the darkness.  So to do this we are going to add a layer mask (second icon from the  left at the bottom of the layers palette). Using a black to 0% opacity  gradient, click and drag something you like. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 14 We are going to create a gradient below the truck and flames to serve  as a base that everything is going to be sitting on. So to do this, we  are going to create a radial gradient using a color that we can pull  from the flames. I’m using #C98640. Move the gradient so the brightest  part is under the flames. Using control + t stretch out the gradient and move the bottom of the  gradient so it is just below the guide. Select your square marquee tool  and drag a box around the whole area above the guide and delete. With  mine, I am going to drop the opacity down to 70% and the saturation  (control + u) to -40. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 15 Create another radial gradient with the color #FF9C00 that covers the  area around the flames. Adjust it with control + t until you get  something you like. Change the blend mode to color burn. This layer  should be just above the ground gradient we made it step 14. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 16 Create another radial gradient on the back end of the truck, this  time it is going to be white. Stretch the gradient out and change the  blend mode to overlay. This will give the back of the truck more of a  highlight. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/matchcar_16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 17 Now I am going to give the wheels a blur so it looks like they are  moving. Using the circular marquee tool, create a circle around the  front tire. Go to Filter>Blur>Radial Blur and adjust your setting  as I have below. Repeat for the back tire. We also want to get rid of the back tire because it is off the ground. So, using your pen tool, cut out the area and delete it. <img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/matchcar_17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Final I added some text, and that’s it, a truck coming out of the flames of a match. <a href="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/matchcar_final_full.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/matchcar_final.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
