Fire Effect
>This sequence employs a great, hidden, feature of Liquify that allows you to save and load a distortion mesh. With this enhancement Liquify becomes a much more functional distortion tool that offers multiple levels of control that would not be available without it.

Rain Drops
This is a technique came up with when Photoshop version 6 came out. The advanced features of the Layer Styles dialog box have some very handy features that can be used when you are creating transparent effects. The sequence for this "water" effect is done entirely in a single Layer Style. So once it has been created it can be saved and applied to any layer that has hard edged opacity against a field of transparency. This also means you can paint on the styled layer and the effect will render "live", so it's pretty to watch.
