[TUTORIAL] How to make 'exploding' text in photoshop.

[matthews]

Ok guys, this is my veeerryyy first tut so please be patient with me
Its a very easy tut and about everybody can do it in no time


Ok first of all, make a new document. I've made mine 400x200 pixels.
Then make your background white and type your text in white.



Then press CTRL-E to merge the text layer to the background

Ok, now go to Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur and set the Radius between 1.1 and 1.6.



Great, so long, so good.

Now go to Filters again, Stylize and choose Solarize.

That should make your pic look like this.


Then after this go to Image - Adjustments and choose Channel Mixer.
In channel mixer use these settings.

Red - 200 %
Green - 200%
Blue - 100 %


Now we need some movement in the picture, so go to Filter - Distort - Polar Coordinates AND choose Polar to Rectangular at the bottom of the Polar window.


OK, so now go to Image - Rotate Canvas - 90'CCW.
Then go in Filter - Stylize and choose Wind.

Choose 'From Left' in the window and you might want to do it 2 times



Then at last go to Image - Rotate Canvas 90'CW. Now again go to Filter - Distort - Polar Coordinates and choose the Rectangular to Polar.

That would be about it and you should have a result like :
