How to make fire on photoshop CS3... it will probably work on other versions, too... the tools are fairly universal.

Terms used if you're a beginner:
Making a color: Click on the colored squares and drag the little circle or the arrows to change colors.
Brush Size: Click on the paintbrush icon. At the top toolbar there are a bunch of options. There should be a thing that says Brush: with an arrow... just click on the arrow and choose a brush.
Opacity and Flow: these can be set by clicking on the arrow next to the percentage... they're usually at the top right of the toolbar.
Burn/dodge: in the toolbar on the left there should be an icon that looks like a black magnifying glass (or a frying pan). That's the dodge tool. Right click it to change it.
Smudge/Blur: that's the little teardrop icon near to the dodge tool. Right click to change.
Highlights: select the dodge tool and go to the top toolbar. There should be a box which probably says "midtones". click on it and select "highlights".
And, if you're REALLY a beginner:
Undo: it's the first option under "edit".

Enjoy!

EDIT: the brush sizes are relative to the size of the document you're using! If you're using a larger document, you might want to resize the large brush to 90 or 100.
