Select the Pen tool (P) and in the document, draw out a path up one side of the text character where you want a flame to appear: Step 13 Use the shortcut Cmd / Ctrl + Shift + N to create a New Layer called ‘Flames’. We’ll now create some digital fire to warp around our character, using the fantastic new Photoshop CC Flame Filter, and some custom Paths to indicate the placement and direction of the flames.
In the Layers Panel, click the ‘FX’ menu and apply the following Layer Styles: We’ll next add some Layer Styles to the Text Layer to lift it off the background. Add a mid tone point to the Curve line and drag downwards to darken the texture overlay Layer. With the Texture Layer selected, Go the Image menu > Adjustments > Curves command. With the new texture Layer selected, use the shortcut Cmd / Ctrl + Alt + G to mask the copy image to the Text Layer beneath. Use the shortcut Cmd / Ctrl + J to duplicate the Layer and drag it above the Text Layer in the Panel. In the Window menu > Layers Panel select the Background Layer containing the metal texture image. When you’ve finished, use the shortcut Cmd / Ctrl + Enter to commit the Type Layer changes. In the example used here, we’ve used the following character values: Font: MetroBlack LT Two Regular, Size: 400 px, Colour: 474747. Use the Options bar to set the required font size and colour and enter the required character. Select the Text tool (T) and click on the canvas to create a Type Layer. Check the Colorize tickbox and apply the following values: Hue ( 30), Saturation ( 50), Lightness ( -40) Step 7 Go to the Layer menu > New Adjustment Layer > Hue and Saturation. Increase the Radius value as required to create a nice soft feather for the edges of the ellipse shape.
Go to the Filter menu > Blur > Gaussian Blur. To soften the edges of the vignette, we’ll add a blur to the Adjustment Layer Mask. Click to add a custom midtone point on the Curve line and drag downwards to darken the image: Step 5 Go to the Layer menu > New Adjustment Layer > Curves command. Use Cmd / Ctrl + Shift + I to select the inverse area in the document: Step 4 Select the Elliptical Marquee tool (M) and draw a large oval over the centre of the background. We’ll add some shading and colour adjustments to create a low key effect over our background. In this example, we will be using a distressed metal texture but any reasonably dark background texture would work equally well: Step 2 Open a suitable background image on which you want to build up the flaming text effect. Most textures and patterns don't look attractive in raw or when they are standalone, and these metallic ones. 30+ High Quality Metallic Texture, Pattern and Photoshop Brushes
