Let me see what you made......

Pretty much ripped from the tutorial of that interface.

Cant see anything different from it, maybe the odd effect.

what tutorial?

if i knew there was one similar i wouldn't have posted it... sorry but that is all my own work....

Hey, when i go to use the color options, (crl+B) sometimes it doesnt work after id finish my difference clouds. Any suggestions?

Should work.
If not try colour balance.

Image>New Adjustment Layer>Colour Balance Layer

I got this. Rather than using the circle marquee tool, I used the lasso. Either way, it would look good.

TIP: When doing this, check the "preserve luminosity" box. This will help.

You could also just select the eraser tool and select any brush and start erasing....you could create some nice effect of Lava melting the metal instead
