Open a new document of sixe, width-800px and height – 600px and set the background as Black color.

Procedure for having stronger upward fire effect for Text:

 

1.) Type a text (in this example, Boddunan) with

Font- ‘Eras Light ITC’ and Style-Regular

Size- 175pt and sharp effect.

Color- White.

 

2.) Create another copy of this layer and keep this layer for future reference. Name the new layer as Boddunan.

3.) Rasterize the layer- Boddunan by right clicking the layer and select, rasterize type.

 

4.) Select Image menu> Rotate Canvas > 90degree CW.

5.) Select Filter menu > Stylize > Wind and select the options, Method-Wind, Direction- From the left.

6.) Select Image menu> Rotate Canvas > 90degree CCW to get back to the original canvas size.

The reason we are rotating is to change the wind direction.

NOTE:

Use CTRL + F to increase the amount of Wind.

 

7.) Now you can use, Filter menu > Blur > Gaussian Blur or any other types of Blur to reduce the sharpness.

8.) Now we shall use the Liquify option to make the text a little shaky as in a fire.

Select, Filter menu > Liquify > Twirl Clockwise and set the Brush Pressure to- 50 and scribble over the text. You may not see the output here. Click ok and exit.

 

9.) Now create another copy of this layer but set the Fill level to – 80%. The reason for doing this is for having a stronger fire.

10.) Now let’s add fire color. Create a new fill adjustment layer by selecting, Layer menu > New fill Layer > Solid color. Use the color- # d7890d.

Set the mode of this layer as – Color Burn.

11.) Now simply duplicate this adjustment layer to have a stronger effect.

See that the layers are arranged in the following order!
