Surface Reflections

hi all, i'm a newbi here and just learing stuff, but i have one problem i'm tryin to follow the directions on the Surface Reflections tutorial but something isn't right. when i put my style to the text then flip it verticaly, the colors don't come out right, the blue is where the yellow is and vise versa, can anyone help?

Doesn't say anything about it, but I think the image is supposed to be flat, with no effects on it. If your going to duplicate the tutorial image, type your text, add the chrome style, then add a new, blank layer below your text layer, select your text layer and CTRL+E. THEN duplicate, flip, distort, and blur as per the tutorial. I believe Mog didn't mention anything about creating the inital image so some people wouldn't think it would only work from those settings. The idea is that you can use it on any image you can come up with, such as this. (Sorry for the bad pic. Just spent 5 min on it.)

MrProtoman is quite right! If you are using layer styles you'll have to remember to reverse the direction of all the effects in the reflected image layer. Otherwise you'll get a reversed image, but the effects will still point the opposite way around, ruining all illusion of a reflection...
