Step 4:

Press Ctrl + F, this command will repeat last applied filter effect.

Step 5:

Again go to filter > stylize > wind, then use the following options: (Wind – From the Left)

Step 6:

Press Ctrl + F, this command will repeat last applied filter effect.

Step 7:

Now we need to apply this effect to top and bottom of text. Wind filter doesn’t have these both directions.
