Photoshop CS is way too expensive at the moment, so I used Sketches Pro and Photoshop Mix on my iPad.

What should I do next? Contrails? Commercial aircraft?

For the F-16โ€™s exhaust I used an image of an F-16 which can be found here: (not my image) File:Condensation trails above F-16 at San Diego (2).jpg - Wikimedia Commons

What should I do next?

  • Squadron refueling (on solo, using photoshop to add the aircraft)
  • Landing tanker with heat blur
  • Formation of F-14โ€™s with contrails

Sure! PM me.

These are incredible good job!

Aside from the F-14 formation, what else do you want to see?

  • More afterburner pics
  • Commercial aircraft with heatblur into the sunrise?
  • Less fighter aircraft?

I tried doing contrails, and itโ€™s not that great.

Does anyone know how to make edges clearer (less pixilated) on Mix?
