We'll need this layer later in this technique)

box, choose Black Body in the Table pop-up menu at the top. Click OK

Step 7:
- Switch to the other document (the duplicate of your text layer)
- Layer menu-->Duplicate layer. When duplicate layer dialog appear,
change your destination to the name of your main document (the one
with the fire). Click Ok (your text layer will appear in exactly the
same place as its was earlier, before the duplication.)
