Inferno Effect
Programs Used: Photoshop 6
Skill Level: Basic
|
| Start by creating a large canvas of 500x500 pixels with a
dpi of 72. The bigger the canvas is, the better it is for this effect. |
|
Make sure that the background is set to black and that the
text is set white. This isn't so important but it is much easier to work
with.
|
 |
|
Make sure that you have the text layer selected and rotate
the canvas 45 degrees counter clockwise.
Next use the wind effect from the filters list. FILTERS>STYILZE>WIND.
Set the wind direction to "from left" and click OK. Repeat this
step again and then another two times with the wind direction from the
right.
|
 |
|
Now rotate the canvas 90 degrees Clockwise.
Use the wind filter again the same way as above with the
wind direction from the left twice and from the right twice.
|
 |
|
Rotate the canvas 45 degrees clockwise and use the wind
effect with the direction from the left.
|
 |
| Now use the gaussian blur filter over the text layer with a radius of
1 pixel.
Next we have to change the image colors to grey scale. Choose
this from the image menu. IMAGE>MODE>GREY SCALE. Then make this
the main index color by selecting IMAGE>MODE>INDEX COLOR.
|
 |
|
Now set the color table to black body by clicking on IMAGE>MODE>COLOR
TABLE and choose the black body table.
|
 |
| The color table can be change to suit different effects. The red and yellows
can be replaced with cool blues to have an electric effect. |
