Photoshop tutorials for HOT TEXT EFFECTS Last month’s “Flaming Text in Photoshop” inspiration page was very hot — so we’re doing it again!

There was another page, but unfortunately of all the tutorials we’ve collected, six of the websites no longer exist, or have been converted into revenue parking sites. As we’ve said many times before, that’s a familiar new ploy of domainers: build up traffic by ‘borrowing’ content from other sites, and then switch to revenue link farms. Oh well. They’re gone.
