I painted with red in the image below the areas which should be painted with black in the layer mask so you can have a reference.Īnd this is how it should look after you’re done:
In the layer mask paint with a soft black brush over the car in order to have a motion blur effect on the background only. Open image “Car” in Photoshop and duplicate the background layer by pressing Ctrl + J.Īpply a Motion Blur by choosing Filter > Blur > Motion Blur.Īdd a layer mask to the blurred layer by choosing Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All. Let’s start by adding motion to a static vehicle.
In this tutorial we will use all kinds of blur effects to create an illusion of motion and to add focus to a picture in Adobe Photoshop.
