Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 370 Blending synthetic flames with type, part of Deke's Techniques.
- In this movie, we'll take that flame generator effect…that we created in the previous movie, and we'll turn it…into this much more credible effect here, via the old school…miracles of layer masking and advanced blending.…I'll go ahead and switch over to my image so far.…And I'm going to drop down to the Flames layer.…And one of the things that we need to do is,…mask the flames inside the letters.…So I'm going to go ahead and zoom in a little bit.…And with the Flames layer active, I'll drop down…to the "Add layer mask" icon and click on it.…
Now you wan to select the Brush tool and then right-click…inside the image window and, a size value of 30…is going to work really nicely.…You want to take the hardness value to 50%,…so that you're splitting the difference between…an absolutely hard brush and a very fuzzy one.…And then press the "enter" key or the "return" key…in a Mac, to hide that panel.…Now press the "d" key in order to invoke the default colors.…And then press the "x" key to make…the foreground color black.…
