Step one:
We know that Photoshop rocks
but does it smoke too? Open
a new image with a white background,
width 120 px & height
280px. In the tools palette
choose F7AB5F as foreground
and F7DB7F as background color.
Step two:
Add a new layer, name it "tip"
and make a selection width
23px & height 79px. Fill
the selection with your foreground
color. Now apply Filter/ Noise
/Add Noise with Amount 5,
Gaussian, Monochromatic unchecked.
Step three:
Add a new layer, name it "paper"
and make a selection width
23px & height 166px. Fill
the selection with pure white.
Apply Filter/ Note Paper,
settings top>down: 16,
3, 4.
Step four:
Add a new layer, name it "tipoverlay",
choose your F7DB7F as foreground,
pick the Paintbrush tool using
brushsize 2 and apply some
lines over the tip like i
did.
Step five:
Now to the tricky part: First
merge "paper" and "tip".Download
the gradient we'll need here
(0,2 KB). Once downloaded,
make a new layer above, select
an area equal to the merged
and pick the gradient tool
-reflected. Load the downloaded
gradient in the Tool Options
by clicking on Edit/Load.
Apply the gradient exactly
as shown holding down the
SHIFT key - yeah, you start
from outside the selection...
If it looks like mine, deselect,
apply the Blending Mode "Multiply"
for this layer and change
it's opacity to 80%. Now it's
the first time we got an impression
of a cigarette *g*
Step six:
Make a new layer, select as
shown on the right and apply
the gradient the same way
you did before. The result
needs to be golden so use
image-adjust-hue/satursation
-check the "colorize" box-
to get a kinda yellow/gold
feeling.
 
Step seven:
I swear this is the last
layer you'll have to make...
Choose 9E5F36 as foreground
color, make the selection
as shown on the right and
fill it. Apply Filter/ Noise
/Add Noise with Amount 26,
Gaussian, Monochromatic checked.
Pick the Polygon Lasso and
make a jaggy selection like
i did and hit Delete.
Zoom out
Lean back
Take a deep breath
enjoy it
