Choose the amount and size.(Here I’ve selected, Amount: 50% and Size: Medium.) |

6) Then rotate your text by choosing Edit > Transform > Rotate 90° CCW. 7) Then to add the fire color to the flames, set the Mode of the image to Indexed Color. For that, go to Image > Mode > Indexed Color and then go to Image > Mode > Color Table and choose Black Body from the options you’re given. Click ok. |
 To make fire flames like this, avoid the step 3 |
 If you want the flames all around repeat step3 4 times. |
