All you need are photos of fire on a pure black/relatively dark background. (But it can be done, and we show you how in our PRO course How to Create a Glow Effect in Photoshop!)Īs for the fire, it’s pretty easy to find free stock photos that will work. Just keep this point in mind if you’re capturing your own images: it’s always easier to use a photographed light source than trying to recreate one from scratch in Photoshop. We chose a background image that already includes a light source that will work perfectly for our fire effect. The first thing to consider is that fire is a light source, and it will need to emit light in any environment that it’s added to. And that’s exactly why we’re going to show you how to add a fire effect to an image using free stock photos of actual fire.īlending images of fire into another scene is a relatively easy process, but you’re going to need the right images to pull it off.
Oftentimes the most realistic special effects come from using real photographs to create them.
