A Quick ? About Skinning

Post by Phantomdude »

When you are skinning, for example flames, how would you but red at the bas of the flame and then fade into orange and then fade into yellow? I have Photoshop 7.0, but am not sure how to do this.
Thx

theres alot of different ways, easiest would be the grain effect i believe its called it basically does exactly what u siad blend one color to another, and can do as many as u need, or u can use ur smear tool which if done correctly can do some cool effects for fire.

if the object is all by itself on a layer, I would ctrl+click the layer (that selects everything on the layer) Then paint it Orange, then hold down the paint bucket icon and select gradient) then pic the color you want! select where you want to have the gradient start and pull out as far as you want the gradient to go, pic another color and do the same. it is now nice and clean as the colors fade together.
