Light Bursting Effect

What I did here was I first typed in the words, then rasterized the type layer then I saved it as a selection and then saved that selection as a channel. After doing so, I applied a Gaussian blur effect onto the image after filling the background with white and turning off the background layer. Then came a solarize filter, then I lightened the image with an auto tone as I duplicated the layer. Next, I rotated the image 90 degrees clockwise after applying yet another filter, this time a polar coordinates filter. I inverted that image to make the inside and outside of the letters all white with black tracing. On the next step, I applied a wind filter three times and inverted it back to black on the inside, and applied the same filter three more times after rotating it back to its horizontal phase.  After re-applying the polar coordinates filter, I had to change the layer blend mode to screen so that the letters would be more noticeable and after doing so, I added a gradient fill layer to the layer and picked colors that would flow into each other and all I had to do after that was change the fill layer's blend mode to color. I then converted the original layer into a smart object and applied a radial blur effect onto the image. Finally, I added a new layer above the original background layer and loaded the selection I had saved from earlier onto that final layer. I then filled that entire selection with black, thus producing the final image we have here.
