Jeff's Photoshop Tips and Tricks

here's a tip from Sid 6.7 This is a cool effect that was inspired by the

"Prodigy: Fat of the land" CD cover... Basically it makes the image look like its moving towards you...

Pic out your favorite picture, (i.e. a car, an animal...) Make sure the image is

in RGB mode. You can check by clicking on Image and then Mode.

Make a quick mask.

Select the area of the image you want to look clear... (i.e. the front of the

car, Quick Mask channel in the Channels palette. head of the animal.) using the laso or marquee tool.

Select>Inverse

Edit>Fill fill with black 100%, then do Select>None

Apply a gaussian blur arounr 13 or 14, 9 or 10 for small images.

Now use the Brush Strokes>Sprayed Strokes filter. Stroke length 12,

Rad. 7, right diagnol.

Now go back to Standard edit mode.

Inverse your selection.

Apply a radial blur zoom. Amount 40 And there you go!
