Written by: Cooj


 Step 1
Reset your colours to default (press 'd'). Type some large font, larger than 72, Rasterize that layer by going under the Layer menu -> Rasterize -> Type.


 Step 2
Select your layer, by holding Ctrl and clicking on the layer in the layer palette. Go to select -> save selection and click OK! (you must save it). Deselect by pressing Ctrl+D.


 Step 3
Switch your foreground to white, by pressing x. Go to Edit -> Fill. In dialog box change mode to multiply click OK


 Step 4
Go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur. Enter 2.5 pixels and click OK. Filter -> Stylize -> Solarize. Press Shift+Ctrl+L to run auto-levels.


 Step 5
Make a copy of the current layer by dragging it to the new layer icon in the layer palette. Filter -> Distort -> Polar Co-ordinates. Choose Polar to Rectangular. Image -> Rotate Canvas -> 90*CW. Press Ctrl+I.

 is there a way to do this without a black background (be able to take the text and the effect out) without having to erase little black "webs" around the effect
