In this tutorial, i'll show you how to make a text effect with a light burst coming through from behind..
Start a new document 600x400. with Black background. Use the type tool to create your text in white. |
Now apply the following layer styles to the text. -Now duplicate the text layer (right click on the layer » Duplicate layer), -hide the top layer. -select the bottom text layer as the working layer. Now go to Layer » Merge Visible. |
Now go to Filter » Distort » Polar Coordinates: Select Polar to Rectangular |
- Now go to image » rotate canvas » 90CW. - Filter » Stylize » Wind: Method: Wind. Direction: From the Right. Press CTRL+F 2 more times to reapply the filter. - Filter » Stylize » Wind: Method: Wind. Direction: From the LEFT. Press CTRL+F 1 more time to reapply the filter. |
Now rotate the image back: Image » Rotate Canvas » 90CCW - Filter » Distort » Polar Coordinates: Options: Rectangular to Polar |
Now use the elliptical marquee tool to make an oval selection, just inside the edge of the white blast. Then go to SELECT » INVERSE, then SELECT » FEATHER, enter amount as 20px. Now Filter » Blur » Radial Blur: Blur Method: Zoom. Quality: Best. Amount: 40 |
Now CTRL+D to deselect. Now create a new Color Balance adjustment layer above this effects layer. Double click on the color balance layer icon to adjust the colors. |
Now do the following: - Enable/show the original text layer. (clicking on the eye icon.) - Create a new layer - Link the new layer and the original layer together. - Then go to Layer » Merge Linked. |
Now just change the blending mode of the top layer. You might like 1 mode better than the other. Here's what I set. Blending mode: Overlay Blending mode: Multiply This one I added a new layer with some Filter » Noise » Add Noise, then set the blending mode to Darken. |
