Tutorial: Make Fire Text with Photoshop

Hi all, this tutorial are written by Dss. How to create a simple and easy text with fire effect? 

Before we get started, let's take a look at the image we'll be creating.




Step 1

Create a blank image and fill the background with black. Press D to
make photoshop back to default color. Press X on the keyboard (to
flip colors) and then select the Type Tool -- type whatever you want, press OK.



Step 2

Next, right click at the text layer then press Resterize Type.
Rasterizing converts the type layer into a normal layer
and makes its contents uneditable as text.



Step 3

Since there isn't a "top or bottom" option in the wind dialog box, we will
turn the image itself around. Use Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CCW.




Step 4

Next, use Filter > Stylize > Wind with the settings "Wind" and "from
the left". Press CTRL+F to apply the same filter over again a second
time.





Step 5

The next step is Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CCW.



Step 6

Now to add some shape to our fire! Using Smudge Tool, smudge your fire up and give it a little squiggle as you go. Do this until you get the proper shape. Also, ensure that the smudge strength is set to 75%.  Take your time at this stage and you should eventually end up with
something that resembles my image.




Step 7

Convert the image to Grayscale by using Image > Mode > Grayscale and
then to Image > Mode > Indexed Color. The next step is to give our image
some color, so choose Image > Mode > Color Table. Since we're shooting
for a "fire effect" choose the Black Body table.







Final Step

Make our text a bit more legible. Choose the Text Tool & press D on
your keyboard. Use/type the same words you used earlier (use the same font size
and type) click OK, position the text in the middle and say "Wow!".
