Adding motion blur

Adding motion blur

I picked a picture where everything was shape and one where a subject could be blurred. First we make a background copy of the layer. I also made the background a layer.



Then I go to Filter> Blur > Motion Blur

Then add a mask to the layer. 














I then used the eraser to rub out the person on the original layer to present the blur.

Adding a blur to produce a focus point

I chose a landscape image
made a background copy
select the quick mask tool
then gradient setting
select the area I wanted in focus

deselected the quick mask tool so the marching ants appear
filter>blur > lens blur where alterations can be made such as, how much blur there is and add the noise  > OK


cmd and d deselects the marching ants.










and I then changed the Hue and Saturation to improve the overall appearance of the photo.

Duplication/ cloning

Image
Photoshop experimentation - cloning  I took an image into photoshop and experimented with the clone tool to remove the person. I used the target to decide what to replace the area with. This is what I achieve using the clone tool to remove the person. I could change the size of the clone and also the hardness of the cloning stamp tool to be more accurate. I then used the quick selection tool to select an object and make a copy of the person onto a new layer. I experimented doing the same task but using the pen tool which can cut out a more accurate object. I had to place the individual anchors all around the edge of the person which takes longer but it is more accurate as you can get a curved edge.
