Oh, Yes by the way assuming that this is a "Text" Tutorials you do have to add text to do it I didnt think I'd have to add that step to my list of steps, anyway...

After you write/create you text which will be before you flip your image Clock-Wise. When you at this step click on your text tool and adjust your font to 40 and your font to BASE_02 which is one of my favorites and it can be found at dafont.com. Add your lettering and then flip it and follow the steps for the distort of wind and then flip it ccw and and go to Layers menu dupe it and your set. Wala... not so hard is it eh m8? :w:

-"Cheers" , Dharma.
