Lava Text Effect

Hey everybody

We started to get photoshop tutorials off of the internet, and we presented what we learned from them.
I found a tutorial that  shows how to create lava text  and it's turned out pretty good.  I've gotten use to it so much that I don't need the tutorial on the screen anymore if I forget something. It wasn't really that difficult when learned what to do either. When I was done with the normal one I just started playing around with it and presto, I got the inverted one. You're gonna have to do this on photoshop. Here's how it's done:
  • make the background black
  • type white text,big and spaced out
  • deselect everything, choose layer>flatten image
  • choose filter, stylize>wind-apply twice both left & right
  • choose filter, render>difference clouds
  • type same text, same way in the earlier step, and position it on top of the original
  • repeat the flatten image step
  • deselect everything, press D to swap white/black stroke and fill
  • choose filter, stylize>extrude
  • choose image, adjustments>invert
  • choose image , adjustments>color balance
  • change midtone values to 100,0,0
  • change shadow value to 80,0,-40
  • change highlight value to 70,0,-70
If I remembered all the steps right there should this cool lava text in front of you, and if you want to see something else kind of cool then just repeat the invert step. Here's the normal one(bottom) and here's the inverted one(top).
