[HOW TO] Editing Picture #1 Motion Blur

1. Open your pictures, resize it . I'll use this picture of Tara, Jiyeon.

 

 

 

2. Add coloring or PSDs to your picture. Then, your picture will look something like this

 

 

3. I'll use topaz clean on this image to make the picture looks more smooth. Go to Filter > Topaz Clean

 



 

Here are my Topaz Clean setting

  

 

 

 

This is the picture after the topaz clean

 

 

 

 

4. Sharpen the picture using 'Smart Shapen'

5. Copy the Background Layer (your image layer) by click on your background layer and press Ctrl+J key or drag your background layer into the 'Create new layer' button

 

6. Click the Filter > Blur > Motion Blur

 

 

The Motion blur setting is up to you but I recommend the distance to be between 45 - 80

I leave the angle at 0

 

7. Copy your background layer or your original picture again. Move the layer that you just copy on the top. Your layer now should look like this

 

 

 

8. Change the 'normal' mode into a 'softlight' mode

 

 

 

Your current picture are now looking like this

 

 

 

9. Now click on the layer that you apply the motion blur filter and delete parts that you don't want it to be blur or you can choose to reduce the layer's opacity. Then, you are finished

Here is my finished picture
