Hey,

I would like to know how had someone achieved effect in Picture 2. I suppose it was lots of time burning proces.
Does anyone of you know how it could have been done? Or siplmy know any other place where something like this is explained?

Oh, I have just noticed that it is not waht I am asking about.

I mean these flame shapes in picture 2. I wonder if it's just drawn from the beggining or substracted in some way from picture 1.

At least two different effects were used to create that image.

1. The first thing I notice are the curly, bright edges. This was most likely done using a plugin called "Fractalius":

However, it can also be done using multiple applications of the Topaz "Clean" plugin:

2. It is possible that a vignette effect was used to darken the edges of the image, but I strongly suspect the darkened edges came about as part of applying an "Orton effect" to the image:

There are quite a few different variants of the Orton effect. I call the one being used here "spreading the blacks".
