Add action with a simulated MOTION BLUR You
Add action with a simulated MOTION BLUR You can add a greater sense of movement to action shots by using a filter to simulate the motion of the subjects. Photoshop includes a number of blur filters, including one for motion blur. Unlike the Gaussian Blur filter, which blurs pixels in clusters, the Motion Blur filter blurs pixels in both directions along straight lines. You can choose the angle of movement and the distance in pixels that are affected by the blur in the filter dialog box to simulate both the direction and speed of motion of the subject of the photo. The Motion Blur filter blurs the entire image, removing all details. The subject matter as well as the background is blurred, making the photo look as though the camera and not the subject was moving when the shot was taken. By adding a layer mask filled with black to hide the motion blur, you can then selectively paint in white over certain areas to create the illusion of movement while keeping the main subject and the background in focus. Apply the filter as a smart filter on a previously converted smart object layer, and you can edit the amount of blur after applying it. 11 33 44 66 22 55 Photo 2007 www.photospin.com 118 1 With the image as a smart object layer (see Task #19), click Filter. 2 Click Blur. 3 Click Motion Blur.
