This is such a simple technique I am not sure why I had not thought of it myself! Now any of your other filters and textures can be applied with a very different look being created by the motion blur. Use a low opacity brush if just a little bit of effect needs to be removed. Add a layer mask to the blur layer and paint out where the effect should be removed.If you want a horizontal look as shown above, set the Angle to 0 if a vertical blur is needed, set Angle to 90 degrees. On this layer go to Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur.Below is the original image so you can see how the motion blur turns a rather busy image into a really nice painterly result. Very simple process to actually apply the filter. That is exactly what was done in the image above. One of her PS suggestions was to try using the Motion Blur filter to get a different effect.

This got me thinking about how I could use some my favorite techniques and PS plug-ins to do get some interesting results also.

She was teaching how to both shoot and use Photoshop to give some very creative effects using mostly flower and leaf images.

This little guy thought he had a pretty good hiding place, but I found him! I wanted to give him a very surreal surrounding and I think it happened using this week’s technique! Learned this from one of my favorite resource places, Creative Live, where a lovely lady named Kathleen Clemons presented a wonderful program called Creating Painterly Photographs.
