Radial Text Effect (Photoshop Tutorial)
Creating a radial text effect is a great way to add some extra excitement to your text images, labels, or buttons. What's nice about this effect is that it works great in animated gifs, where the text seems to come out at you. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the necessary steps in order to create a radial zoom effect for text.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Open up a new document in Photoshop. Roughly around 600 x 200 in size.
2. Using the text tool, type anything you want. If the background is dark, then make sure the text is light (and vice-versa). In this example, we'll type the word "Photoshop".
3. Goto Layer > Duplicate Layer...
4. Click OK when the Duplicate Layer pop-up box appears.
5. Goto Filter > Blur > Radial Blur.
6. A pop-up will appear asking if you wish to rasterize the type layer. Click OK to accept.
7. When the Radial Blur pop-up appears. Set the Amount to 100. Set the Blur Method to Zoom. Set the Quality to Best.
8. Click OK to accept the Radial Blur changes. You should now have your text with the radial blur.
