While still in the channels pallete and with the new
channel (Alpha 1) selected, select the Type Tool and

Pixelate->Fragment
Pixelate->Crystalize
|
Now duplicate this new text channel,
to do this, drag the channel into the "create new
channel" icon. This will not be Alpha 1 copy.
Go to Filter->Pixelate->Fragment.
Repeat this step for 3 times.
Then go to Filter->pixelate->crystalize.
Enter 6. (This depends on the size of your text. play
around) |

text on another color background? we cant, because it
is already on a colored background.
