1 –
Write the Text
Today
i want to show you a cool fire effect.
Create
a new layer with a black square…. Call this layer BACKGROUND
LAYER
Make a new layer with a text , color #f0462c …….Call
this layer RED LAYER
Duplicate
this layer and make the text white…….Call this layer
FIRE BOTTOM
Select
layer FIRE BOTTOM and Edit - Transform - Rotate angle 90 degree. We
will add a Wind Filter and that filter only works on horizontal. We
will rotate this layer back.
Step
2 –
Add your Wind Filter to Your Text
For
FIRE BOTTOM layer go to Filter - Stylize - Wind , select From the
Left option. Apply this filter twice or three times it is up to
you.
You should have something like this
Step
3 –
Add Wind Filter to Your Text
Now
rotate the layer back to horizontal.
Go to Filter - Blur -
Gaussian Blur and choose 1,7.
VERY
IMPORTANT
!!!!!!!!!!!Merge the FIRE BOTTOM with the BACKGROUND
layer ; Call this new layer FIRE EFFECT LAYER.
Now
go to Filter - Liquify and with the Turbulence Tool size 7; density
100; pressure 49 and from left to right start making waves.
Step
4 –
Add Fire Color to Your Text Flames
Lets
add some color. Work with Fire Effect Layer and go to Image –
Adjustments - Hue/Saturation and select Colorize so we can fiddle
with the color. Bring Saturation up to 100 and set Hue to about 40.
Duplicate
this colorized layer and select this duplicate in the layers palette.
Select Image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation again, this time with
Colorize off. Set the Hue to -20 to make the flames red. Set the
Blending Mode of this duplicate layer to Overlay. Call this layer
Fire Effect 2 Layer. Now we’ve got some nice looking flames:
Step
5 –
Bring the Text to the Front and Add it Effects
Now
bring to front the RED Layer. I will apply to this layer different
effects from the Blending Options window.
The
first thing that you need to do is to go to Image - Transform - Scale
and scale the text a little.
Than
go to Filter - Liquify and with the Turbulence Tool brush between 4
and 7 and play with density , pressure , rate to see which is the
best for you and simply disturb the edges of the text.
For
a better effect I have used the Burn Tool to give more color to the
text.
It
is now time to make two settings in the Blending Options of this
layer:
Stroke
with color #ba780e
Inner
Glow with color #b12b01
This
is the result we have so far:

color background of the fire text; you can play with colors and
bending mode of Color Overlay to obtain a nice result:

Step
9 –
Text with Flames Sample 4
For
this last sample I will add a texture into the scene. So hide the
Sample 3 Layer and copy this beautiful
old paper texture.
Place
this Texture Layer right under Sample 2 Layer and change the Blending
Mode to Linear Light 100%. Resize the image to have the dark frame in
your canvas.
And
