Animated Flame
1. Create a new document.
2. Load a candle or something with a flame into this document. ( I used this one )
3.The candle should be in a single layer. To create the flame create a new layer.
4. Draw with a brush a flame with a brown or black color.
5. Duplicate the layer (Layer-> Duplicate Layer)
6. Now use: Filter-> Blur-> Gaussian Blur and Filter->Blur-> Motion blur.
Use this filters several times until your flame looks like this: (View picture)
7. Create a new layer, again
8. Filter-> Render-> Clouds. Use this settings :

9. Change the ‘Blend mode’ from ‘normal’ to ‘Color Dodge’ Look to it that your layers looks like this:

Thats it! To animate the flame u can use Image Ready or Marcromedia Flash. I used Flash for the candle on top.
