Text on FLAMES: Photoshop Effects Tutorial
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.

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.
