    Creating Blue Flames in Photoshop 5/5.

    Blue Flame
    Welcome to the Blue Flame tutorial.This tutorial was designed to enhance your airbrushing skills by
    giving you a little exercise to practice with. It was also brought out by request, I used this flame in a few
    Matrix wallpapers of mine, you can view them by clicking here. If you need help with it, or find it
    confusing, don't hesitate to e-mail me, the information is at the bottom of the page.

    1 Create a new document with the following settings:

    Width: 150 pixels


    Height: 150 pixels
    RGB: 0, 68, 119

    Create a new layer for the fire by clicking on the Create New Layer
    button in the Layers palette. ( )

    2 Grab the light blue from the default Swatches palette, then grab the
    airbrush tool. ( ) Select a soft brush from the brushes palette and
    airbrush half of the canvas.

    3 Grab the eraser tool from the toolbar ( ), set the opacity of the
    eraser to 30% from the Eraser options palette.

    Staring from the top left of the screen move downwards, then arc up
    revealing a flame shape, continue doing this until you get a pattern that
    looks like mine, this way the flame looks like it's more concentrated
    towards the center.

    4 Grab the Blur tool from the toolbar ( ), set the pressure to 30%
    from the Blur options palette, then run over the flame once or twice to
    get a subtle blur, and to get rid of the stepping.

    After you've finished blurring the flame, create a copy of the layer by
    dragging the layer from the layers stack onto the Create New Layer
    button ( ).

    5 Make sure the original layer is selected, and select the Burn tool from
    the toolbar ( ).

    Set the exposure to 100% from the Burn options palette, and burn the
    flame until it is completely black.

    Note: Changes will not show up so well on the canvas, you can get a
    better view of the blackness of the burn from the layer's thumbnail in
    the Layers palette.

    6 Select the copied flame (the one that is still blue), and set the blending
    mode to Exclusion, for more information on blending modes, click
    here to view my Blending Modes tutorial.

    7 With the blue flame selected, from the main menu, choose
    Filter>Blur>Motion Blur and use the setting to the left. Click OK.

    8 Grab the Dodge Tool from the toolbar ( ) and click and drag it
    along the bottom of the canvas, arc it up higher as you get towards the
    middle of the flame.

    9 Finally add a Gaussian Blur by, from the main menu, choosing
    Filter>Blue>Gaussian Blur, and inputting a setting of 3.5 pixels.

    10 There, you're done, congratulations. Now go make a Matrix wallpaper!
