    this is really cool! i’m following all your instructions, even using the same picture and exact same colors for the outer and inner glow, but my horse is extremely red, and not firey looking at all. when i do the layer mask, it just selects the whole thing and darkens everything. can anyone figure out what i’m doing wrong?

    thanks in advance, and thanks corey for all yout tutorials!

    I’m having a problem when it comes to deleting the bruch mark after adding the the inner and outer glows the layer background goes to black unlike yours stays white transparent

    Rosie, make sure you have the blending mode set correctly when you apply the layer styles. Then when you use the brush click 2 or 3 times in the same spot to intensify the image, play around with what works best for you… I had the same problem to start!

    Corey… brilliance.

    Nice one, again, Corey! Well, I am still a poor moneyless guy, so I couldn’t afford to go to Photoshop World, but, hey, if you tough this one there, it is a penny I saved! Thank you very much, and, from this, I picked it up and wen’t straight to my girlfriend helping her doing it also… Quite, quite, quite nice…!
    Thanks
    Hope to see you on next tutorial, which, I believe, is already done, the one with the vector mask! See ya, man! And thanks again!

    Wow this is simply awesome! The idea of deleting the contents of a layer while keeping the layer styles intact saves me the trouble of copying and pasting layer styles onto a new layer. Plus, I’ve never knew glow works so well to create a fiery effect!

    Thanks for sharing!

    I’ve always wanted to know how to make pictures look like they are on fire, but I never knew it was so simple! Thank you so much, you’re amazing!

    how about trying it with a man on fire. like Human torch or something like jessica alba in fantastic 4. half of the body is on fire and the other part is normal, or like a man holding a ball of fire?.. it’s really cool!!. Hope you can teach us that..

    Corey, is there a way to make someone or even a horse into Ice? I love this fire effect, and if you could turn someone into Ice with the same effect, could you show us? I cannot seem to figure it out.

    Awesome! Can you do this in Gimp, too? Because I lack the funds to purchase Photoshop, I would love to make it anyway.

    I’m not quite sure if you like to see what people have made from your tutorials, but I figured you can take a look if you want.

    I started out with this image: http://bit.ly/a7qWDp

    And using your “fire” tactics and some other skills, ended with this: http://bit.ly/cRmGec

    Thanks for the help! Love your videos
