Fire Overlay

Photo Overlay Essentials: Definition & Application

An overlay refers to any secondary visual element (image, texture, or graphic) layered atop a base photograph using editing software. This technique is predominantly executed in Adobe Photoshop through layer-based compositing.

There are lots of photo overlay ideas like rain, light, Bokeh, snow, lightning, etc. The fire overlay is one of the most used images for creating photo manipulations.

To add fire to photo you need a realistic fire overlay and a graphic design software to merge the two images together.

We have a fire texture pack that you can use. Make sure you click on the fire overlay free download.
The pack includes 9 fire overlay png images. The fire effects png images are all with transparent background.

So, take a fire overlay for edits and put it over your photo. Use transform, rotate, skew, warp to adjust the image.

Also, if you need another color like a red fire overlay for example, use a Gradient Map.

If you want to make a blue fire overlay use these settings for the Gradient Map: #160032 (location 0), #1bb1e9 (location 75), #ffffff (location 100).
In the same way, create a purple fire overlay or a red flame overlay. It’s easy.

The fire overlay Photoshop pack is free for personal and commercial use with attribution.

A fire PNG image is simple to use in any software. That is the main reason why lots of people prefer a fire texture PNG.

I hope that you will love using the fire overlay for editing your pictures.
The set also includes a fire particles overlay PNG. The fire sparks overlay is useful if you want to make the effect more realistic.

If you need a fire texture seamless check out this site. There you will find lots of other Photoshop textures.

I usually don’t use only one flame PNG. For better results I make a combination of two or three fire transparent PNG images.

Photoshop allows you to use fire Photoshop brushes to make similar photo effects. But, an image with fire transparent has the advantage of being easy to blend. Plus, it’s easy to use in any graphic design software not just Photoshop.

For making this realistic fire PNG I used real photos of fire. It’s not easy to make a fire texture transparent, so I hope you will appreciate the effort with a like & share.
