<![CDATA[<p>Today let's check how to make a firing text using the Photoshop.</p>
<ol>
<li> Open a 500x500 pixels document with Black as the background colour.   <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_0.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Create a Text on it. I'm using Arial font. Just Type &amp;ldquo;Photoshop&amp;rdquo;. Font colour should be white.  Better to be in upper case. And Select the text layer and Go to Layer&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Rasterize&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Type.   <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_1.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /></li>
<li> Now duplicate the &amp;ldquo;photoshop&amp;rdquo; layer once. And Select the middle layer (&amp;ldquo;Photoshop&amp;rdquo;).   <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_2.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /> </li>
<li> Now we want to create a wind effect to this text, for that rotate canvas 90CW. Image &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Rotate Canvas &amp;gt;&amp;gt;90CW. Now Go to Filter &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Stylize &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Wind. Click the direction from the left, and method as wind. Click OK.  To make more effect press &amp;ldquo;Ctrl + Fthree times. Now rotate the canvas to 90 CCW. Image &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Rotate Canvas &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 90 CCW. &amp;ldquo;   <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_3.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /></li>
<li> To make more effect to the wind, Go to Filter &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Blur &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Gaussian Blur and set the radius to 2  <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_4.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /> </li>
<li> The next step is to give our Photoshop layer a black background which will be needed for the next step. To do this, duplicate Layer 1 (our original background layer) and merge this duplicate layer with the blurred text layer we just made.   <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_5.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <br />It will look like this...<br /> <br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_6.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /> </li>
<li> With the middle layer still selected, go to Filter-&amp;gt;Liquify. St the brush size to 80, density to 11 and pressure to 92. Now take the Warp tool and push the streaks around to get a sort of rising "S" pattern over the letters. Then hit OK   <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_7.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /> </li>
<li> Select the middle layer. Now go to Select Image-&amp;gt;Adjustments-&amp;gt;Hue/Saturation and select Colorize so we can fiddle with the color. Bring Saturation up to 100 and set Hue to about 40. Make sure the option &amp;ldquo;Colourize&amp;rdquo; is ticked. </li>
<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_8.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />
<li> Duplicate this colorized layer and select this duplicate. Then Go to Image-&amp;gt;Adjustments-&amp;gt;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.  <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_9.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /> </li>
<li> Select the &amp;ldquo;Photoshop copy&amp;rdquo; layer and click the transparency lock button. </li>
<li> Set foreground color to #f9e400 and the background color to #a36a06. Then click the gradient tool and draw. Finally it will look like this. You can also change the layer style.  <br /><br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/07/03/203129_10.jpg" alt="" /></li>
</ol>
<p>That's all. Enjoy the tutorial.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FSoftware%2FPhotoshop%2FFire-Text.156271"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FSoftware%2FPhotoshop%2FFire-Text.156271" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
