    1. Yes Off course it is possible.. the important thing is, you have to change color mode and flatten the 'text' layer.. you will get 'Wind' effect easily from filters --> Stylize ---> Wind..

  9. Is there a way to do this with a transparent background? When I try to this method in transparent the color balance doesn't shift green leaving the words and wind effect white. Works perfectly with a black background though thank you!
