Description I've been messing around with making fire on CS2 at school and I found this is the best way to make it. Doesn't mean that you have to do exactly what this says because art is not step by step instruction, it's expression. This is the tools and stuff I use for it though. XDDD

Have fun! And if you have any questions or suggestions on this please note me or ask me in a comment.

Edit: ~Suilee suggested using the liquify filter for the same effect. Thanks! ^___^
Edit: (11-9-05) I changed the text. I guess I'll never use that font again. I also lightened the color. I hope it's easier to read now! XD Sorry for the inconvience.

KittensAngel In reply to infectitious [2010-12-31 10:25:25 +0000 UTC]

I have CS5 so I'm not sure if the dodge tool looks the same in all the versions. But it's the little black ball with the line on the bottom right side. Hope I helped!

Photoshop had a step-by-step tutorial that I followed to the letter and never did get the same effect. D: I still had ugly clouds while they had flames. So YES, yours is better. It's something I can follow and know I will get the same effect.
