I painted the background and used distorto brush. selected and cut out of a photo I had taken of a wind surfer, used the effects change hue on first picture (blue background) to enhance sail and used distorto brush. I then used layer blend on copy of droped layers to reverse out. Lovely orange and teal came out. I used burn plug in. All was done in Painter excepting letters hot that were done in painter and photoshop elements.( instructions for hot TEXT were in Adobe Photoshop Elements Techniques Vol 4 Number 5)i Did use the distorto brush for the flames on the letters, liked it better then the effects in Photoshop.
