so as you can see, i'm trying to learn how to do motion shots with photoshop. any helpful tips would be appreciated!



edit: i just noticed you can see my reflection i'l chop that out later...hah

 

make separate layers of the same pic; body, each wheel, and background.
1. body layer - erase the rest of the nonbody.2
2. with the elliptical marque tool each wheel, radial motion blur each wheel.
3. normal motion blur the background.
just experimenntal with the filters. should be good to go.

 

well i made 2 layers for each wheel and 1 layer copy of the background...

but i didnt do any erasing or use the elliptical marque took...what does that do? i dont even know where that is! (told you i am a noob!)

 

Lots of free tutorials: http://www.tutorialized.com/

 

elliptical marque tool is to select each wheel in a circular form, from there just use the radial blur filter.

 

thanks...ill look through that site in a bit

but i still cant find this elliptial tool

 

it should right above your lasso tool and next to your move tool.

 

wow. i feel like an idiot i checked them ALL except that one...

 

just finish a 44 min. work while trying to remember the buttons for this session. lol the pic i was working was big.

 

meow



edit- if you think about it the background shouldn't be blurred or out of focused because its stationary, the object moving in this case the car should (i think)
be blurred

 

^^nice kyle

 

oh the passing by look. lol.

 

kyle, what did you do? just the wheels? or did you do more?

 

but the wheel radial spins 3% faster than the body motion blur, at that effect it should complete with some smoking tires.

 

give me the original picture and i'll show u how it can be done in 2 mins
