Lab Task :2
By: Zeeshan bhatti

Object: To
a) Make fire effect on text using different filters.

Tool:
Adobe Photoshop

Theory:
The blending mode specified in the options bar controls how pixels in the image are affected
by a painting or editing tool. In this lab we will use the overlay mode. Overlay multiplies
or screens the colors, depending on the base color. The base color is not replaced but is
mixed with the blend color to reflect the lightness or darkness of the original color.
Photoshop provides us a variety of filters. In this lab we will use Wind, Gaussian blur and
Ripple filter.

Procedure:
a) Make fire effect on text using different filters.
1.

Create a blank image and fill the background with black.

2.

Press X on the keyboard (to flip colors) and then select the Type tool; type whatever
you want, press OK.

3.

Press CTRL+E to merge the text layer into the background layer.

4.

Next, use Filter-> Stylize-> Wind with the settings "Wind" and "from the left". Press
CTRL+F to apply the same filter over again a second time. Now use another Filter->
Stylize-> Wind, but this time with the settings "Wind" and "from the right". Press
CTRL+F to re-apply, just like before.

5.

The next step is to repeat the same process we applied to the sides, but this time to the
top and bottom. Since there isn't a "top or bottom" option in the wind dialog box, we
will turn the image itself around. Use Image-> Rotate Canvas-> 90 CCW. Apply the
wind just like before, two on the left and two on the right. When you have completed
this task, use Image-> Rotate Canvas>90 CW in order to straighten your work up.

6.

Apply Filter-> Blur-> Gaussian Blur with a value of 2.

7.

Then Filter-> Distort-> Ripple with the default values.

8.

Convert the image to Grayscale by using Image-> Mode-> Grayscale and then to
Image-> Mode-> Indexed Color.

9.

The next step is to give our image some color, so choose Image-> Mode-> Color
Table. Since we're shooting for a "fire effect" choose the Black Body table.

10. Last Step makes our text a bit more legible. Choose the Text Tool & press D on your
keyboard. Use/type the same words you used earlier (use the same font size and type)
click OK, position the text in the middle.

Result:
We have become familiar how to define a pattern and create Grid effect on an image.
As well as how we can Make fire effect on text using different filters.
