I used the tutorial for this:

Trying to figure out how to make good-looking black flames now.

welllll... so it kinda worked... the only things I struggle with is the smudging part. I guess I'm just bad at it or something because it never turns out right. I can't manage to get more of the grey and most of it is black and white with a just a little grey around the edges. plus my edges never seem to get the correct pointyness of a flame and seems to round or to sharp.

Ignore my previous comment, I figured out a way to make it work.

I'm so distraught at how well this works ONLY if the background is entirely black and you have ONLY the fire there by itself. I'm trying to figure out how to use this as part of a complete image, but without the plain black background, this doesn't work at all. If I wanted to use this method for anything other than JUST the fire by itself, how do I do that? I tried changing the layer type to Screen as mentioned in the tutorial, but then the black still stays instead of becoming transparent, like I need it to be. I tried having the black on a separate layer and then making the adjustments, but then when I get rid of the black layer, the fire just becomes one off-white color again, regardless of its layer type.

All I need is the fire, and I need the black background GONE, and I can't have both using this method. So unless there's a way to do that and I'm just not figuring it out, this tutorial is actually rather useless. And that's sad, because this method is a LOT easier than most, and at first I was really glad I found it... Now I just feel like I wasted a bunch of time for nothing.

super usefull
