1) Start with a new image, 16 million colors. Mine was 400x400. Black
background.
2) Enter text using white foreground. Save selection, (selection|save) then select a blue
foreground color and use the fill tool to change the color of the text to
blue.
3) Deselect the selection and Blur More twice.
4) Dilate twice.
5) Use the Wind Deformation filter, once from the right, set at twenty, then
from the left, also at twenty.
6) Rotate the image 90 degrees to the left.
7) Repeat step 5.
8) Rotate the image back.
9) Blur More once.
10) Increase the brightness by ten percent or so. At this point, there is
just a blue glow in the center of the image. The first "halo".
11) Re-load your selection. Fill white and De-select.
12) Dilate five times. [Smaller images dilate twice]
13) Blur more. Now there is a sharper, brighter secondary halo.
14) Re-load the image again.[Fill blue](Note: Example images
are done with the fill/blue, original tutorial left the selection white.) Do not de-select.
15) Add random noise twice.[100%]
16) With blue as the foreground color, add a hot wax coating.
17) Bring up the luminosity to 100%.
[if the image is still too dark repeat]
18) As an additional touch, I added "sparkles" by tweaking the settings on
the plug-in filter "starmaker" from the Filter Factory's Gallery B.
