Trial by Fire

Life gives us a lot of crap, and sometimes we may think that it isn’t really fair the amount of stuff we are going through. I know that if we make it though, it is a trial that will make us stronger in the end, hence the title of this post and image. This is an interesting image. I was creating this image as a yellow image at the beginning, and that is how it stayed for a long time, but then one layer blend mode changed it all and made it look like a fire image. I kind of liked it and kept it, so I give you the image titled Trial by Fire.

Radial Blur, Glass Vignette, and Polar Inversion are the main effects used here, as well as layer blend modes such as Overlay, Lighten and Screen. The orange and red came as a result of the Overlay blend mode. Something else that I did was I flattened the image, copied the flattened image, unflattened it, and pasted it as a new layer. That gave me the entire image to manipulate and that is mainly what I used to get the results you see.

I’m still going strong giving you at least two images every month. I hope I can keep this up. I’m trying hard to do just that, but we’ll see how things go in the future. As I have time, I create images and then I post them when I have another second. Take care and I’ll see you here with another image soon.
