It's interesting. The only thing I could think of doing in the demo was writing my name.

To my eye, it doesn't produce flames that are realistic looking - and I like things that look realistic.
I spend a fair deal of time photographing real flames every summer when the wildfires hit our area.
The flames that the software creates have distinct "edges" to them, in the form of outlines that are bolder and more "solid" than the middle portions of the flame.
This is just not realistic at all, as I have never seen real flames look like that when shooting them.

I see that there are other ways to use the software that do not result in the "perimeter outline", but those results don't look realistic either.


While I think that this software can be enjoyable to use, and fun to play around with, I think that if I want to have flames in my images, I will stick to photographing real flames.....
......they are just so much more dynamic and awe-inspiring (to me - others may have different tastes).

Without training, I wasn't very impressed by the program. I have flame images, & if I don't have what I need, I'd google royalty free flame images.

I think it lends more to graphic illustration than it does photography although I could find a use for it and blend it the way I'd want it.

Very interesting. Never heard of it either.

I can see where even tho initially interesting, it could quickly become a tiresome, over-used tool and look.

Probably best suited for occasional backgrounds in people composites. Can't really see a good use for it in any sort of landscape, scenic, etc.
