đš Creating a Trendy Blurry Effect in Photoshop
The tutorial begins with the creator's motivation to experiment with a popular blurry effect in Photoshop. The process starts by selecting an image and converting it into a smart object. The next step is to apply a motion blur filter, adjusting the angle to zero and increasing the blur radius to approximately 700. After applying the blur, the creator instructs to delete the effect from the entire image by painting with black on the smart filter mask. To selectively restore blur in certain areas, white is painted on the mask. The blur intensity is further enhanced to 870 in specific regions. The tutorial then proceeds to adjust the blur's appearance by using the liquify tool to elongate and distort the blur effect. A gradient map adjustment is applied for color grading, with the addition of purple, yellow, and cyan tones. Finally, noise is added to the image by converting the layers into a smart object and applying the noise filter with a setting of around 40. The video concludes with a demonstration of the final motion blur effect and a thank you note to viewers.
