Action Zoom Blurring Effect In Photoshop
In this Photoshop photo effects tutorial, we'll learn how to add some action and a sense of motion to a photo with a zoom blur effect. We'll use Photoshop's Radial Blur filter to add the initial blurring, then we'll bring back some of the original image using a layer mask and the Gradient Tool. Not only is this a great (and popular) way to help bring an image to life, but the entire effect can be completed in less than five minutes once you're comfortable with the steps.
The first step in creating our action zoom effect is to duplicate the Background layer so we can work on a separate copy of the image, which will allow us to bring back some of the original image later. With our photo newly opened in Photoshop, if we look in the Layers panel, we can see that we currently have one layer, the Background layer, which is the layer than contains our photo.
This brings up Photoshop's Radial Blur dialog box. The Radial Blur filter gives us a choice of two different types of blurring - Spin and Zoom. Since we're creating a zoom effect, set the Blur method option on the left side of the dialog box to Zoom . Directly below the Blur Method option is the Quality option. Choose Best for the quality.
