Rock, fire, Photoshop

Been planning to try making a logo like this for a while but needed to learn some stuff, like how to make 3D text, drop an image onto text and erase the background of semi-transparent flames, since you can’t separate the red channel in Photoshop Elements (I used settings of Contiguous and tolerance 13%). This image isn’t the best rendering of the idea, but it’s my first crack at using most of these techniques, so I’m happy to have managed it at all, thanks to the very clear tutorials linked to above. There is a special place in heaven for people who write really clear tutorials and post them on the Internet. 🙂
