  • Flames are a bit blurry. How to make flames sharper?

    I'll admit I'm still learning a lot about Phoenix but have done a lot of tutorials and spent about 100 hours with it. I can't find any info on how to sharpen the flames. They are always a bit blurry. I'll attach what I'm working on and I'll also a client reference. He keeps saying, "make your flames sharper like the reference photo."

    I'm having trouble achieving this. Any hints?

          Svetlin, it was EXACTLY what I needed. Now my flame looks like a fireplace and not a gasoline fire. Thank you again.
