Actually Mahjqa I left it big so you could do that! Well what I did was I found the little tab called optimize, and so when I saved it as a gif the first time I left no optimiztion settings. Then when I re-opened it I cut out the backround with the magic wand tool set to 0 tolerance and then ctrl + X to cut it out. Then I went back to that little optimization tab and clicked 128 colors, no dither, adaptive, transparency (mattle=2B0404), then I went to file and hit Save Optimized As. I clicked output settings and went to backround and seletected the mattle color once again then saved exited and reopned and it was transparent!

edit: which frames did you take out?

Yup.

(just to make sure; you don't have to recreate the whole animation, just delete the frames with an even number and you're done.)

Originality lies in relegating what you already know... dont ask for too much advice, insider - just go and do it while saying to yourself "i know nothing, this could be better" every 3 or so hours. Results should turn out to be outstanding, not a remake of a tutorial. Use tutorials as impulse, not as source.

Ok ok, I have wanted to try my hand at a little pyrotechnics ever since I saw Mahjqa do his first flame. I haven't gotten around to doing it for this long. Well today I sat down and, like a Nike shoe, just did it. I don't think it is too bad for my first try. There is still stuff I don't understand on it but I'll keep working at it. But for now at least I have the basic idea.



(I didn't try any transparency stuff yet. I didn't want my ass kicked that bad today.)

I too would like a t00t on this. I understand the cloud part fine, but the option 1 and option 2 part of the .psd is a bit hard for me. Like I don't understand what the gradients are doing or how to make them.

Well the gradient map isn't that hard, running on ps6 its pretty easy. Just when you are finished with the mask, and then atleast one cloud frame, click the mask layer and oh... what is it... I think there is a tab called "new" and look around and find gradient map, then reverse the gradient; move it so you can see your image, and then start with dark colors and end with fairly almost white colors, or just fool around with it.

The text is wood, and (modesty aside) looks pretty cool at its original size. The black spots are (were) going to be charred areas that glow red, but it doesn't show at this size. I still have issues about pics still looking cool once they're sized down, but I really enjoy working at larger sizes.

Easy...big piece of iron forged into the shape that you want to brand, joined to a big wood and iron handle. The front part is heated to red hot, and is viciously jabbed and held against the skin of an animal which really doesn't deserve it (I really don't like branding irons)

yes please post a tut on this, I'm quite the newb and thus far I haven't been able to follow...
what I did was create a 256x256 work area, added clouds, then took it into image read and
nudged it 4px in each frame... lets just say I'm very not pleased with my lack of knowledge...

awesome fire sigs though guys, you're very inspiring...

1: I am not that good with Photoshop/IReady (Although I do learn quickly).

2: I am not sure that I am allowed to even write a tut on GN. Or am I?

3: I haven't yet mastered the fire techniqe.....

4: I think Mahjqa has the right idea and expirience to do it...

Mahjqa, are there any other filters besides (difference)clouds that repeat under special dimensions? Do all PS filters do that? o.O Am I so intrigued to go try myself? YES!
