Step 1:
Duplicate layer and name them water and fire.

Step 2:
Make the fire layer invisible and select the water layer
Color \ Levels

Middle: 0.75
Right: default

Step 3:
Filter \ Enchance \ Unsharp Mask
Default settings

Step 4:
Select fire layer and make it visible
Color \ Desaturate \ Lightness

Step 5:
Colors \ Curves
Green channel: (160,27)
Blue channel: (227,26)

Step 6:

*follow the video*

-Text-

Step 1:
Merge layers and duplicate it.
Rename new layer writing

Step 2:
Add text (must fit inside wave)
Right-click on the writing layer on the layer menu
Click Alpha to Selection

Step 3:
Activate the writing layer
Select \ Invert
Press DEL
Select \ None

Step 4:
Delete text layer (not the writing one)
Make the water layer invisible
*You should now see the text, if not, try the steps again*
Duplicate it and name them shadow and blur
Move writing to the top, shadow next, then blur, then water

Step 5:
Activate shadow
Filters \ Light and Shadows \ Drop Shadow
Change the offsets to 0 and blur radius to 10
Activate blur
Filters \ Blur \ Gaussion Blur
Amount: 10
Click on the chains on writing, shadow, and blur to link them

[Move the text where you want (normally top-left corner) and youre done]
