Aaaah. Wind effect drives me nuts!

Hiho...
I want to apply a wind effect to my text, but when I apply it, the wind kinda cuts into the text. But I want the wind to originate at the text!! Aaah, yesterday it worked :D I have no idea what I am doing wrong... hope you guys can help.

thanx

To make things a little bit more clear:

This is what I want (I did it yesterday... drop me an opinion, if u want to)
The Wind I want


This is what I get now:
The sucky wind effect

btw: it´s not the from the left/from the right thingy that causes this

hope that helps

duplicate your text layer.....

apply the wind effect to the bottom text layer and you should see where to go from there.

mmh... u want me to drag the bottom layer, hu? that doens´t quite look like I want it to... do u have any idea why it cuts into the text?!
Well, thanks for the effort, man!

It cuts into the text because thats what its suppose to do.

Duplicating and a little masking should do it. Its going to take a little work on your part to get what you are looking for.

Here's a hint. Make your text white. The wind filter also uses the color of your graphic to determine how much it cuts into it. White, I don't believe it will cut into it at all.

Then when you have finished using the wind filter, either change the color of the text by using a color overlay layer style, or use the hue/saturation control to change it.

ahhh, yes......

I was assuming you were working with white text on a black background.

Yepp, that´s it. Thanks people
