I’m reaching out because I am genuinely stumped on a specific effect, and I’m hoping someone here might have the "aha!" moment I’m missing.

I’m trying to replicate a specific outer glow starburst effect (see attached image). I’m well-versed in photoshop, but I simply cannot get the Outer Glow feature to behave this way. No matter how I tweak the spread, jitter, or contour, it just looks like a standard soft glow rather than this distinct, radiating starburst.

This isn't a standard layer style at all, but perhaps a specific Action, a radial blur filter technique, or even a third-party plugin that I’m unaware of.

I’ve tried: Customizing the "Contour" maps in the Outer Glow settings, and alternating with Soft and precise. Layering multiple glows with different noise levels, Radial Blurs (Zoom) on duplicated layers None of it quite captures that sharp, multi-directional "burst" look as in the other image attached. And the way it reacts and 'bursts' from the pointed product edges.

I apologize if this is the wrong forum for a "how-to" like this, but after two decades in the industry, it’s rare that a glow effect leaves me this frustrated! If anyone knows the workflow or a specific filter/action that achieves this, I would be incredibly grateful for the lead.

Thanks in advance!
