thunderrooster Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I am trying to do something like http://10steps.sg/tutorials/photoshop/text-on-fire-effect/ or http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/dramatic-text-on-fire-effect-in-photoshop--psd-199. Can Paint.NET do that? I seen this topic http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20772-dramatic-fire-text/ but it is old and the images are gone. I think some images from that topic is something like I want. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20772-dramatic-fire-text/#entry345196, http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20772-dramatic-fire-text/#entry347505 and http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20772-dramatic-fire-text/page-2#entry354156 looks close to what I want. Instead of letters looking like they are on fire, I want a symbol the Eye of Ra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 There are two plugins which will do this. Install either of these: Tom Jackson's Fire BoltBait's Flames Setup: 1. Create a new image. 2. Fill the layer with black. 3. Use the text tool to render a large white text of your choice on the black background. 4. Blur the text using Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur. You want to blur the edges, but not so much as to lose the overall shape of the characters. 5. Run Effects > Distort > Dents at these settings 6. Run whichever Fire plugin you installed & play with the settings. Once you get the hang of it - combining several layers of flame-text will enhance the effect (here I used blend = Screen and opacity of 184 on the upper of two flamed layers). If you keep running the Dents Effect with some different settings you can come up with some very realistic flames. Here's a manual method: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/12180-how-to-start-a-fire-with-paintnet/ 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderrooster Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thank you but what is the best way to blur just the edges. I see no blur brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ventor1 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi Thunderrooster, I am not too sure what you are referring to with regard to blurring the edges, although it sounds as though you may want to use the smudge tool. Please refer to my "Burning Font" tutorial below which shows how it is utilised: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/24383-burning-font/ Cheers, V.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Correct, there is no blur brush. Instead use the built-in effect Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur (there are other blurs in this sub menu which you could try).
