i am tryin to make a smoke trail on the PSD i want the smoke to be sort of on the path that its currently on but i want the smoke to be goin about 80%trans or pale white by the pic on the right to really pale white (10-15%trans on left)
so it looks like the smoke is dissapearing

This very rough,but something like this?



What you do is paint your path you want the way you want,dont worry if its soild.Now load the paths transparency,make a new layer and select the grdient tool and foreground to transparent,now drag from right to left and the smoke will falloff at the left side

I used the free form lassoo myself.You could make a path and stroke it as well.

Is this *smokier* ?

If this is what you meant, I used kiwi`s psd and a soft edged Smudge tool and smeared it around. For more detph, you can duplicate the original and smear it different ways, and adjust opacities.
