Fire Text Effect Part 2

We have seen in the previous tutorials FIRE how to create fire on text, but in this tutorial, we will be using Adobe Photoshop and create the Text Effect to be precisely in flames.

In this tutorial you will need a resource file for fire. Well, You can either search the net or just save the image of fire which is in the later part in this tutorial. (Titled FLAMES) numbered as Fig 8. below.

You Can click On Most of the Images for an ENLARGED Zoomed View

First of all take a new document with 300 resolution and black background.

Type a text you wish to, here again I am using the “TD”. Select a good smooth font you prefer with size 200pts and color white.

How to create Glowing Lines Tutorial

Part 1 – Photoshop Tutorial – Creating Fire & ICE

Stunning Rays Text Effect in Photoshop

Here comes my fourth tutorial in Photoshop after the first 3: First Rays Effect Second Fire Effect

Third Ice Effect Creating your own Special Effects: Glowing Lines and VFX effect in Photoshop

In this tutorial we will create our very own special effect cool glowing lines.

It is a simple tutorial from which you can make your own desktop wallpaper and do so much more.

Step1:
Create a new document. I prefer selecting the size of 1280×1024 pixels and resolution 300.

Select background color as Black or you can change the background color later too.

Select the Brush tool then change the settings of the brush to size 3 pixel, 0% hardness and color white.

Create a new layer and then select Pen tool. Change the mode of Pen tool to Paths.

Now create the shapes like I have done below. Once you are comfortable with this tutorial,

which you will be very soon, you can add and create effects for your own shapes.

After drawing the line, right-click anywhere in the document and select stroke path.

Then in the options select Brush and check the box of Stimulate Pressure and hit OK.

Repeat this step for 4-5 times to get a good curved brush stroke.
Fig1

Fig1 (Click For Larger Image)

Step2:
Now we will make pattern of this stroked path. With the same layer active, hold Ctrl button and click on the active layer.

This will create a selection of the stroked path.

Now go to menu Edit>Define Brush Preset and save as a Brush.

Now hide this layer and select Brush tool.

Go to Brush settings and select the brush you just created (Hint: the recently created brush will appear at the very end) and change the settings as shown below.

Fig3

Step3:

Create a new layer and with the same brush as active that we just created

and edited, start drawing from left of the document to the right. You will see that all the lines must be different from each other due to the settings we have done. The image should look somewhat like below.

Fig4

Fig4 (Click For Larger Image)

Step4:

After completing the above step, we will now give some glow to it.

Go to the blending options of the layer you are working on and use the settings below.

(Note: In the previous layer under the blending option for outer glow, we had gradient with transparent color at both the corners and for this step the ends are filled[colored] & not transparent)

Step6:
Draw some small dots of about 4-5 pixels in a new layer and repeat the steps 4 and 5.

Part 1 – Photoshop Tutorial – Creating Fire & ICE

Stunning Rays Text Effect in Photoshop

Creating FIRE & ICE Effect in Photoshop – Part 1

Creating FIRE Effect:

Select a new file with background color black

Type the text you want to, I have typed “FIRE” with font style Impact. Change the color

of the text to white.

Rasterize the text layer and then merg down to the background.

Now go to the menu Filter>Stylize>Solarize

Go to menu Image>Adjustments>Auto Levels

We will now rotate the canvas in clockwise direction.
Go to menu Image>Rotate Canvas>90° CW

Now, give the wind effects from the Filter.
Go to menu Filter>Stylize>Wind

Now select “Wind” option from Method tab and “From the Left” from the Direction tab.

Repeat the same step for 3-4 times. I have repeated it 5 times.

Now, rotate the canvas to its original position.
Go to menu Image>Rotate Canvas>90° CCW.

We will now give some ripple to the image.
Go to menu Filter>Distort>Ripple

Select the Size as Small and Amount as 100%.

Now is the part where we begin to Give the Text a look of fire.

Now to keep the file size in Control and get hold of that unique color mode titled “Color Table”,

this is what we need to do.

First, convert your file to Grayscale. This brings down the file size a lot.

Now, to get that magical color table (the one at the bottom of the  above image – not highlighted),

we first need to convert the mode of the file to Index Mode.

Select the Discard from the message that will appear

Convert the color mode to Index Color. Go to menu Image>Mode>Index Color

Now we will change the color scheme of the Index color and use the Color Table which is available for selection.

Go to menu Image>Mode>Color Table

After this, select the Black Body option from the Color Table’s drop down menu.

The image now looks like this.

The Black Body option once selected, will give you Your Effect.

We will now give some glow to the fire but before that, since our color mode is in Index Color,

the Filter gallery will not work, so we have to change the color mode to RGB again.

Go to menu Image>Mode>RGB Color

Now we can give the effects what we want.
Go to menu Filter>Filter Gallery

Select Distort from the Style Menu and under that select Diffuse Glow.
Set the values
Grainness – 0
Glow Amount – 10
Clear Amount – 12

That the final step and our image looks like this

We are through with the PART – 1 Of the Tutorial.
