Remove the current flame , filling in the candle with the clone tool.
step 2 of 7
Put in text for the word flame. You COULD cheat it by using a flame style text I suppose, but whats the fun in that?
Use Arial BOLD.
step 3 of 7
Place a clipping mask with a yellow and white gradient fill over the text.
step 4 of 7
Copy the layer and place it one layer below. Use the smudge tool to push out the flames. Go out and go up. Make it look smokey.
step 5 of 7
Make the top layer flame text fully white, copy it to a layer above. In the above layer, blur it slightly to give it a glow.
step 6 of 7
Create a new layer under all the flames and use the brush tool with a slightly more orange hue at about40% and add some orange glow to further bring out the foreground text.
step 7 of 7
Merge the the flame layers and resize to a proper flame size.
Using the smudge tool at about 50%, further smudge out the edges of the text. There shouldn't be any straight edges really. Going in close helps. Just zoom out every once and a while to make sure your letters are still readable!
This would make a good tutorial.
