how do i create an image where it looks like the subject is running? i want the subject to be sharp, and then a trail of blur going in one direction. i've tried magnetic lasso-ing the subject, making each one a new layer and blurring each one, but it still doesn't quite accomplish what i want. i know there's an easier way to do it. is there an option where i can grab hold of the subject and drag?
View 3 RepliesI have some random curves (already created) and I want to blur them just from one side to have the same blur distance and effect one the whole curve.
To more precisely describe what I need, I need to create gradient with direction of normal for every "point". The best example I have found so far are borders in Civilization IV game. Here are two examples:

As you can see, there is a solid curve, which gradually blends (i.e. alpha channel is lowered) till the gradient disappears. I have the solid curve and the question is, what would be the simplest way how to do this (the number of curves is around 100) gradient.
how I might get this running ink effect?

For many years I have always hoped that Adobe would include a filter for a speed blur. I know it does a motion blur, but what I want is a blur that show the direction of the apparently moving object. I am working on a project where I have animated a chilli on the companies web site where it flies around. I want to give the impression of movement with the blur coming from the tail of the chilli for a leaflet.
Here's the image I am working with, though it looks a bit crap here as it's cmyk.
how I could achieve this sort of effect? I've tried playing around with motion blur but the two effects are pretty different.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to get the desired end result. When applying the Gaussian blur effect, I find that doing this always adds additional width or height to my object which makes the graphic larger than the desired size. To be more specific, I have a rectangle that is 640px by 100px and I want to add an element on top of that is 640px by 4px. I add the Gaussian blur effect to the 640px by 4px object so that my rectangle appears to have depth and my overall graphic is not flat. The problem comes when I export the both elements because the Gaussian blur has now increased the width of my graphic to be larger then desired. Is there a why to add the Gaussian blur effect without increasing the width of my graphic? The final result is a graphic width of 656px.

How in the world can I get this into my PainNet program?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThere's a gaussian and radial blur. What's so different about a motion blur?
I can create a sudo-motion blur by grouping several objects and moving one object off the page, then moving the center of the radial blur to that side, in the radial blur dialog. It would be much easier with a motion blur effect.
Another workaround is to blend 2 objects of different transparencies, but I can't save it as a graphic style. Transform would work, if transparency of "duplicate" objects could be altered. I don't see a way to do that either.
Looking for some creative solutions for motion blur effect, THAT CAN BE SAVED AS A GRAPHIC STYLE, I'd like to hear about them.
I'm trying to blur some text so that it blends in with the background a little. I found the perfect way to do this using the Live Effect, Soften Filter, Motion Blur. However, when I finish getting it to blur to exactly how I need it to look, there is no option to apply this to the text. When I close the box (the only option available) I lose the effect! How do I get it to apply to my text? Do I need to change the text to a shape first?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've had trouble creating a certain type of motion blur effect. Typically, motion blur radiates outward from one single point. However, What I would like is for a whole section of an image to be clear (for instance, a character's torso) and then have the image GRADUALLY get blurrier from there.
I cannot figure a way to do this (apart from a very long process of creating many duplicate layers and doing an independent motion blur for each one).
Attached is an example of what my attempts look like right now: an obvious line around the region that I'm trying to showcase, rather than a smooth, gradual transition into the motion blur.

I am trying to get a blur effect (Gaussian) on a vector image, and it is not allowing it to happen. It appears that it will only affect bitmap images. Is this true, or can I actually do the effect as I want?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am animating comps in After Effects CS6, and I'm quickly moving objects across the screen using positioning keyframes and changing size using scaling keyframes. Most of the time it works great; but sometimes the motion blur effect keeps appearing *after* the object has stopped moving. Not just for a second -- but forever. It appears correct when scrubbing on the timeline, but when I render the final output movie, a non-moving object sometimes has motion blur all over it.
Sometimes I can fix it by un-parenting some layers inside the comp... other times it doesn't fix it. Sometimes I just delete it and start over and it works. Seems more like a bug then something I'm doing wrong.
I also tried on my Mac Pro tower and Macbook Pro laptop in case it was a graphics card issue; it isn't, the exact same problem manifests itself in both areas. I did just discover that turning continuous raster OFF does seem to fix the problem--but then my vector images are blurry when I zoom in... and that again sounds more like a bug, not like an incorrect setting.
I just got PSE CS6 and the blur too will NOT work ....blur filters work, but not BLUR in the tools panel I have tried: unintstall/reinstall, updating, using it no a picture straight after opening it, duplicate layers, selecting an area and then blurring....flattening an image, every single different setting in the the blur tools menu bar NOTHING works. And everything I find about blur is the new blur filters....
