Hello!

Can anyone help me how to achieve the following effect?
The effect is something similar to when the sun passes through the clouds and you can see the beams.
In my case, we have a black background, a hole on it, e.g. the word "hello", and beneath it there is a very strong burst of light, so you have beams coming out of the hole (or the word).

On the attached image, i've achieved the opposite. I was playing with the rotation, wind, then the perspective filters/transfomration.

The clear, perhaps glowing white letters should be behind, or underneath the beams, and not on top.

I've recently migrated from PaintShop to PS, and I really want to do it in PS, to justify my investment. I know it might be completed, any ideas, suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you

Fuli
