thank you. to get the smoke, create a layer over your subject and render diffference clouds. cut out a small section and delete the rest. stretch the smaller section so it covers your image. it basically blurs the smoke. then use gradients and play with the colours on a layer above that. choose soft light or colour dodge as the blend mode. play round with it till it looks what you want then merge the gradient and smoke. change the blend mode of the smoke layer to soft light. add a mask and invert it. and then paint it back in.

I normally invert to paint back in when I find it easier to see where I want the effect as oppposed to trying to target the area I want through the effect.  Does that make sense? IA may have different  reasons though?

I just assumed that "play round with it till it looks what you want then merge the gradient and smoke. change the blend mode of the smoke layer to soft light." had already achieved the wanted effect?

the graident and smoke are not on the same layer as the car so by inverting the mask, you can then choose where to paint it

 

Agreed, but by blending it with the car layer, haven't you already positioned it where you want?

I have but without the inverted mask, it covered the car too. so with the inverted mask it was eaiser with the tablet and pressure to create the smoke more realisically around the car and concentrate it in parts

 

Ah. See your point. You know, I've been a Photoshop user for around 15 years, but never used masks, never got to grips with them. But then, with Photoshop, there's a million and one ways to do the same thing.
