- Then use the type tool again, and create another WHITE text exact same size as the original, and place it over the original, covering it, then set its opacity to 60%. This will make your text whiter if it was darken by the difference clouds filter.
Now flatten your image again. Layer->Flatten Image

For each of the Tone Balance, set the following color levels.

- Shadows: [ +70 ] [ 0 ] [ -70 ]
- Highligts: [ +80 ] [ 0 ] [ -40 ]

You can use the above techniques to apply to random shapes and the result will be something like rocks sinking in lava instead of text. Thats what tutorials are about, you learn, and apply the technique your own way.
