Photoshop tutorials — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 07:47:22 +0000

If you are using Photoshop CC, there is new really cool function available. You can now really easy generate your own flame. It is really easy with plenty of options so you can render many different flames.

First at all you need to create new layer or select specific layer where will be your flame placed.

Next step is to choose Pen tool and create path for your flame.

After this step go to Filter > Render > Flames and this option will appear:

There are 6 different types of flame:

1. One Flame Along Path – single flame on one path.

2. Multiple Flames Along Path – more flames on one path and they will follow the direction of the path.

3. Multiple Flames One Direction – more flames on one path and all of them will follow the same direction.

4. Multiple Flames Path Directed - more flames on one path. Each Flame will point according to the path angle.

5. Multiple Flames Various Angle – more flames on a path. Each Flame will point randomly(by changing the “angle” you can control angle of flames).

6. Candle Light: One candle light will be rendered on a path.

You can try all available settings as:

The Flame Shape: Parallel,To The Center, Spread, Oval, Pointing

Other parameters: Length, Width, Angle, Interval, Adjust Interval For Loops, Flame Lines (Complexity), Turbulent, Jag, Opacity, Flame Bottom Alignment, Color, Quality, Arrangement

I have used flames to create car burnout, play this tutorial:

On this page I want to present you examples what you can download and use in Photoshop. Specially photoshop brushes and fonts, because you do not need to use only stock brushes and fonts when you can download much more interesting stuff.

I use very often brushes from webpage deviantart.com. In the left menu go to the Resources & Stock Images -> Application Resources -> Photoshop Brushes

Or if you are lazy you can download whole package of brushes for example from here: Brushes MEGA SET

Next useful site is site with name dafont.com. On this page you can download many very beautiful fonts, which you can use not only in Photoshop.
