[PHOTOSHOP] Light Burst Tutorial

Here is the long waited tutorial for the light burst ^_^^:

Step One:
Open a new RGB Document. (I used 500 Pixels by 300)
Set foreground colour to black by pressing "D". Use the type tool, write some large type (I used compacta BT at 200 pt).
In the layer palette right click your type layer, and click "Rasterize type" from the menu. Command-Click (PC: Control-Click) your type layer to put a selection around it. Go Under the "Select menu" and choose "Save Selection", then click OK.

Deselect your type by pressing "Command-D" (PC: Control-D). Switch your foreground colour to white by pressing "X". Go Under "Edit Menu" and choose "Fill". In The "Fill" Dialog box, change the Mode to Multiply. Change Contents to Foreground Colour. Go under Filter Menu, and choose Gaussian Blur and enter 2.5 Pixels.

Step Seven:
To Add colour, create a new blank layer, and press "G". Choose what ever gradient colour you fancy (We recommend the Violet to Orange gradient) and click either Radial gradient, or Liner gradient. Drag the gradient tool through the layer to your liking. Now Change the Blend Mode from Normal, to Colour (near the bottom).
