| Here you will be taught how to create the flame effect I used on my banner and slash page. Although its not 100% the same method because I forgot what setting I used. Also there was alot of tweaking that im not going to get into for this tutorial. |
1) Open a new window, make the size 800x600, with a white background.
2) Make your foreground color white and your background color black.
 |
3) Go to FILTER > RENDER > CLOUDS
4) Go to FILTER > RENDER > DIFFERENCE CLOUDS.
5) Go to IMAGE > ADJUST > INVERT
6) Go to FILTER > RENDER > LIGHTING EFFECTS and use these settings
| 7) | Go back to Lighting Effects and use this setting. Make sure you put the tip of the spotlight at the brightest part of your pic. |
8) Now go to FILTER > BRUSH STROKES > ACCENTED EDGES and use these settings.
9) Now make a copy of this layer. And set it to multiply.
It should look something like this now.

| 9) | I think this could use a little more red. Go to IMAGE > ADJUST > HUE SATURATE and just slide the bar around until you get to red and click ok. |
| 10) | I also don't like hard edges so im going to use FILTER > BLUR > GUASSIAN BLUR to make it a bit softer. Not too much blur, just enough to get those edges soft. |
| 11) | Now you add anything you want to the bottom of this, like a meteor, and with good blending and a little more work you can get something like this. |
