MOTION BLUR EFFECT TECHNIQUE
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:10 am
(Using PSE8)
LAYER 1- background photo
Duplicate (Ctrl.J)
LAYER 2- On duplicate: Filter>Poster edge
Duplicate (Ctrl. J)
LAYER 3- Filter>Blur>Motion blur at a slight angle & move slider all the way to right.
Change blend mode to linear dodge. If you want a little more whiter result go to Shadows/Highlights & move the Lighten shadows slider all the way to right. Some photos might not need as much.
Select eraser tool & start erasing with a soft brush at a lower opacity at top about 25% - 30% what you want to show through. Then erase at 100% what you want the clearest.
Duplicate (Ctrl. J)
LAYER 4- Change blend mode to Color dodge. Start erasing at lower opacity again to get areas you want to show through more that you missed. You can also lower opacity a little on the layer as I did on SIDELINE creation which made the background players show through a little.
If you want the stroke, create a new layer on top of all the layers & use the Rectangle Marquee tool & drag out selection.
Edit>Stroke (Outline) Selection to the amount you want.
Add text if you want to put any.
I would love to see your results.
