Add a cigarette without healthdamage :)

  • Open up a new document with a logo or a text in it on a seperate layer from the background;

  • Hide it and create with the retangular marquee-tool a cigarette-shape and fill it with the colors white and brown;

  • Add these layer-styles to the whole cigarette;

  • It should look like this;

  • Select the cigarette and create a new layer;
  • Select the reflected-gradient and make it "Black-Transparent-Black";

  • Lower the opacity of the gradient-layer;

  • Add some burn-marks with the pencil-tool on the same layer as the cigarette;

  • Here comes the tricky part: Copy the layer-style of the cigarette, merge all the cigarette-layers (gradient, burn-marks and the actual cigarette) together.
  • Now paste the layer-style you copier earlier;

  • Make the logo/text visible again and position the cigarette (NOTE: notice the shadow moves "with you" when you leave the layer-style intact);

  • Select the WHOLE logo or text without their possible layer-styles;

  • Grab the polygonal-lassotool and hold down ALT and cut the parts you want to keep visible out of the selection;
