To make lighting I have to ways:

1. Using the dodge and burn tool to make the whole sig have the same lighting, including render.

2. Filter>> Render > > Lighting
Mess with the settings, if you are using Cs2 you can take an default setting named 2 o clock lighting if I'm not mistaken. that one it pretty good.


remember, I did this from my head and didn't think everything through. What did you mean with fire btw?
