I have a picture in Bryce Sfi called "The Watchers" and I was wondering if any suggestions on how to show realistic heat coming from the thrusters. I was thinking maybe just useing blur but wanted to hear a few more ideas. Thanks

Played with Levels (Ctrl+L) a bit until is was darker, richer, but clipped the blacks so you can see detals underneath. Masked (or you can Erase) it for soft edges like the air is evening out. Hope that helps.

Excellent solution for that would be the wave filter, play around with the options and you`ll get the heat turbulence that you looking for ;) Tihomir
