Many are those who ask me daily how to use brushes.
We all know that the Brushes do not come with the colors of the element itself, so that after we apply some adjustments to look like this.
In this case I will explain quickly how to make the fire alive. Here I leave some Brushes Download fire for practice:
And if you want to try something different with the same technique, a very attractive Brush I found it:
(Imagine it exits the tail of a Car tuning)
Step 1
We started by opening a new document with black background (better looks is where the fire). The size is a choice of each. In this case, I will open one of 1100 x 550 px.
Create a new layer and then load the brush fire between our default Brushes, select white as foreground color and the Brush tool we dump on the canvas element.
Step 2
Create a new layer of Hue and Saturation adjustment and began to test combinations. In this case I used the following:

But try one thing. Before putting these values, give direct Ok. Go to layers panel and change the blending mode to “Color Dodge”. Now make double click on the adjustment layer in question (the icon black / white) in order to re-enter the setting window. Check the box color and thus to make adjustments so we will see more real color on the element dump.
This is a good result. But it’ll add a 3rd step because it always comes to the very end and it’s always good to know that we can test if you have not convinced us that we see.
Step 3
In case you still do not have a good result, I suggest you try the following. Double layer by fire and we put on above the rest, should be top. Then change the blending mode of this layer Overlay.
As you can see the flames now have more life, more intensity. That’s why I recommend always try combinations of this style in order to find what you seek. They can add another layer with another blending mode such as strong light and a bit down the opacity of that layer … or can make other adjustments of hue and saturation when combined with the latter probably fits. Finally, I leave to the imagination of each one of you.
For inspiration to bump this, I left a Top 15 tutorials with fire effects. If not all deserve to be in the rankings, but if we must recognize that there are more than a good one.
