Q: sry..im having trouble with smoke..it's not render so you want me to magic erase the backround ?
A: you dont have to magic erase the bg of the smoke layer, after you go to Image - Adjustments - Invert, then set that layer to Color dodge, and then Image - Adjustments - Desaturate, or whatever setting is in the tut. Then the bg of the smoke layer will be see thru

It worked for me inverting the smoke then just setting the "smoke" layer to screen.
