alright guys.. you've probably seen my lava texture thing in the texture section yeah?
Well people were asking me about how I did it, and I couldn't remember so I found the original with the plan to reverse engineer it.. but to no avail.. so heres the challenge, take the original file from
here (its about 3mb btw) and work out how I selected the dark bits in the alpha channel to make the red and yellow layers layers.
Pay special attention to the look of the red layer when its set to "normal" and 100% opacity.
A hint.. to get the alpha looking like that i wound the brightness and contrast right up.. I think
Go to it! The winner will be hence forth known as a photoshop genius
