This shows u how to make burnt text or images... or anythin ur mind can imagine.
1. Start with a new image file of required dimensions... say 600x400pixels, make a black background for better effect.
2. Using
text tool (T) type in a fav word.. say KoolBluez.. better make it thick (strong & bold) with white lettering as shown
3. Place it 2/3rd below & 1/2 to the right, copy this layer & align to original layer, make original invisible and merge visible
(Ctrl+Shft+E)
3. Default
Glowing edges filter this merged layer and make copies of this, each in
screen mode (except the last/background one)
4.
Distort->Wave each of the glowed layers with different (randomized) distortions of
amplitude min=1 & max=20.
Distort->Twirl the layers to
30-50degrees and merge all these layers. U get this
5.
Hue/Saturate (Ctrl+U), check "
colorize",
hue=38, saturation=100 layer. Duplicate layer and "
multipy" layer
6. "
Gaussian Blur" both these layers @ 5.0pixels each,
Edit->Fade Gaussian blur, select "
color burn",
multiply other layer (xcept the bkgrnd layer), make visible bkgrnd layer to get this
7.
Image->Rotate Canvas->90degree CW,
Filter->Stylize wind, from left (Ctrl+F if required), both layers;
Image->Rotate Canvas->90degree CCW
8. "
Gaussian Blur" @ 5.0pixels,
Edit->Fade Gaussian blur, select "
overlay" top layer.
9.
Distort->Glass with
frosted texture,
distortion=1, smoothness=3, both layers; "
multiply" or "
overlay" top layer to get a final
