In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a fire text effect completely from scratch. Just like the previous tutorial “How to create the Photoshop icon”, this tutorial is very simple to do.
Step 1
Open a new document, I, like always, used the default Photoshop settings. Once the document opens, change the background color to black. If you have a white background, press [Ctrl + I] to invert the background.
Step 2
Select the Text Tool (T). Using the ‘Franklin Gothic Heavy’ font, type FIRE in 130pt size font.
Step 3
Now, double click on the text layer to open the layers styles. First, apply an outer glow with #faab02 as the color.
Step 4
Next, apply an inner glow. Have #ff4c00 as the color of the glow. It’s a dark orange than the outer glow. Set the size to 13px.
Step 5
Then, apply a gradient overlay. Set the black to white as the gradient. Bring down the opacity to about 15%. Exit out of the layer styles. In the layers panel, drop the opacity percent down to 0%
Step 6
Right click on the text layer and choose ‘Rasterize Text’.

Step 7
Grab the Smudge tool and set the strength to around 60%. Next, trace the letters to give it a wavy effect. Now bring up the strength to 75-80%, and smudge the letters out to create the fire effect.
