A particular blending mode works really well on more difficult subjects like glass, smoke, fire and lightning. Here’s a quick guide to use blending mode :
- Select the Layer 1 (Fire) to be on top of the Background (Musicians)
- Go to the Blending Modes option
- Select “Screen”
- As a result, all of the pixels on the fire will be selected as Screen blending mode
