How Do I Make Fire Glow in Photoshop?

Fire is one of the most popular elements in Photoshop. It's easy to see why: fire is bright, hot, and full of energy.But how do you make it look realistic? In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create a burning effect in Photoshop that looks so real, it's sure to set your work on fire!

First, open up your image in Photoshop. We're using a photo of a candle for this tutorial, but you can use any image you like. If your image has a background that you don't want to include in the final effect, simply select the background layer and hit delete on your keyboard.

Next, create a new layer by clicking the "Create a new layer" icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. We're going to call this layer "Fire."

With the Fire layer selected, go to the Edit menu and choose Fill. In the Fill dialog box, set the Contents drop-down menu to Black and click OK.

Now we need to add some noise to the Fire layer. Go back to the Edit menu and choose Filter > Noise > Add Noise.In the Add Noise dialog box, set the Amount to 100%, Distribution to Uniform, and check the Monochromatic option. Then click OK.

Next, we need to blur the noise on the Fire layer. Go back to the Edit menu and choose Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. In the Gaussian Blur dialog box, set the Radius to 5 pixels and click OK.

Now we need to adjust the levels on the Fire layer. Go back to the Edit menu and choose Image > Adjustments > Levels.In the Levels dialog box, drag the middle input slider to the right until it reaches 2.15.

The final step is to set the blending mode of the Fire layer to "Screen." You can do this by clicking on the drop-down menu at the top of the Layers panel and choosing "Screen" from the list.

Conclusion:


By following these simple steps, you can easily create a burning effect in Photoshop that looks realistic and will definitely set your work on fire!
