| Here
is a cool little
effect I just made
up. I know this
one is going to
be popular. A movie
type explosion,
complete with flying
sparks! |

Step one:
Put your type on its own layer
and render. Right click/Cmd
Click on its name in the layers
pallette and render type.
PS 5.5 calls this rasterize
type.
Step two:
Now its time to rope us some
type! Grab the lasso tool
and select a portion of the
type.
Step three:
Now select the move tool (V).
Drag the selected peice away
from the rest.
Step four:
Repeat steps 2 and 3 lots
of times, using differant
selection sizes and shapes,
until you get something like
this.
Step five:
Duplicate the layer and apply
a motion blur>Radial blur
= 100 and quality = best

Step six:
Duplicate the blurred layer
2X
Step seven:
Set the top blurred layer
to Dissolve and bring the
opacity to 47%

Step eight:
Change the color of the
blurred layers and the sparks
using the Hue/Saturation control.
Add a black background and
"BOOM".
