Beautiful Light Burst Text In Photoshop

In this Photoshop Text Effects tutorial, we'll learn how to engulf text in an explosion of light and color.We will be using a couple of filters that are not used very often in everyday Photoshop work, but creating the effect is quite simple and the end result is definitely worth the effort.

Here's the result we're going for:

Step 1: Open A New Photoshop Document

Create a new document in Photoshop.I chose the 640x480 size and resolution 300dpi. You Choose your own size.

Step 2: Add Your Text , Resize it and Put it into the center

Step 3: Add A Selection Around Your Text And Save It

"Ctrl-click" (Win) / "Command-click" (Mac) directly on the text thumbnail in the Layers palette.

Your text will now have a selection around it

With the text selected, go up to the Select menu at the top of the screen and choose Save Selection. When the Save Selection dialog box appears, just click OK. There's no need to name it or make any changes to the options.

Once you've saved your selection, press Ctrl+D (Win) / Command+D (Mac) to deselect your text.

Switch over to your Channels palette for a moment (it's grouped in beside the Layers palette) and you'll see your selection saved as a new channel named "Alpha" at the very bottom. We'll be coming back here a bit later to load our selection again.

Step 4: Use "Fill" To Fill Your Text Layer With White And Set The Blend Mode To "

Switch back to Layers palette again, and with the text layer selected, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and choose Fill. When the dialog box appears, set the Contents to White and change the Blending Mode to Multiply.

Step 5: Apply The Gaussian Blur Filter To The Text

Go up to the Filter menu at the top of the screen, choose Blur, and then choose Gaussian Blur. When the Gaussian Blur dialog box appears, enter a Radius value of about 3pixels and click OK to apply a slight blurring to the text.

Step 6: Apply The "Solarize" Filter To The Text

With the text layer still selected, go back up to the Filter menu and this time chooses to Stylize and then choose Solarize. This will turn the document black, and your text will appear as a white stroke.

Step 7: Lighten The Text With Levels

The text is looking a little dark, so let's lighten it. Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+L (Win) / Command+L (Mac) to bring up Photoshop's Levels command, and drag the white point slider on the right in towards the left until you reach the right edge of the histogram.Click OK. The text will now appear much brighter

Step 8: Make A Copy Of The Text Layer &Apply The "Solarize" Filter To The Text

 Make a copy of the main text layer. 

Go to the Filter menu, and choose Distort, and then Polar Coordinates. We're going to send our text to the North Pole. When the Polar Coordinates dialog box appears, select the Polar To Rectangular option at the very bottom and then click OK.

Step 9: Rotate The Canvas 90 Degrees Clockwise & Invert The Image

Go to the Image menu at the top of the screen, select Rotate Canvas, and then choose 90° CW to rotate the canvas 90 degrees clockwise.

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+I (Win) / Command+I (Mac) to invert the image, so black becomes white and white becomes black.

Step 10: Apply The "Wind" Filter Three Times & Invert The Image

Go to the Filter menu , choose Stylize, and then choose Wind. When the Wind filter's dialog box appears, make sure Method is set to Wind and Direction is set to From the Right.Click OK to apply the Wind filter. Then apply this effect another twice.

Press Ctrl+I (Win) / Command+I (Mac) to invert the image once again\

Step 11: Apply The "Wind" Filter Three More Times

With the image inverted, need three more times to apply the filter to the image

Step 12: Brighten The Image Again With Levels & Rotate The Canvas 90 Degrees Counterclockwise

We'll let Photoshop do the work for us by using Auto Levels. To do that, press Shift+Ctrl+L (Win) / Shift+Command+L (Mac) to apply the Auto Levels command to the image, which will brighten it up. 

After this Goto, the Image menu, choose Rotate Canvas, and this time chooses 90° CCW to rotate the canvas back to the way it was original.

Step 13: Apply The "Polar Coordinates" Filter Again & Set The Layer Blend Mode To "Screen

Go back up to the Filter menu again, choose Distort, and then choose Polar Coordinates. This time choose the Rectangular to Polar option and click OK.

Go up to the blend mode options in the top left of the Layers palette and change the blend mode of the text copy layer from "Normal" to Screen by clicking on the down-pointing arrow and selecting "Screen" from the list

Step 14: Apply A Gradient Fill Layer To Add Color

Click on the New Fill Or Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette.Change the blend mode of the Gradient fill layer to "Color"

Step 15: Apply A Radial Blur To The Original Text Layer 

We're done with the text copy layer at this point. We're going to finish off the last few steps by working on the original text layer, so click on it in the Layers palette to select it. Then go up to the Filter menu, choose Blur, and then choose Radial Blur

Set the Amount to about 65 pixels, the Blur Method to Zoom, and the Quality to Best, as circled above, and then click OK to apply the filter to the original text.

Step 16: Load The Saved Text Selection & Fill The Selection With Black

Only a couple of things left to do. First, switch over to your Channels palette (Alpha) again like we did earlier. We're going to reload that selection we saved. To do that, simply right-click (Win) / Control-click (Mac) anywhere on the Alpha channel at the very bottom, which will load the selection back into the document window.

With the original text layer selected in the Layers palette and black still as your foreground color, press Alt+Backspace(Win) / Option-Delete (Mac) to fill the selection with black and finish the effect. Press Ctrl+D (Win) / Command+D (Mac) to remove the selection, and you're done! After all that, here's the final "light burst" text effect.
