How to Create a Molten Metal Text Effect in Photoshop (Without It Looking Cheap)
The Problem With Most Metal Text Tutorials I’ve seen thousands of Photoshop text effects over the years, and most of the “molten metal” ones fall apart in the same way. The glow is too clean. The edges are too sharp. The whole thing looks like a stock icon from 2009 rather than something that actually radiates heat. I used to make that same mistake when I was working at agencies, rushing through type treatments for campaign mockups.
