Photoshop Tutorial: Making A Fuzzy Graphic With Either PS 7 or higher

[mzwebfreak 0]

Needed: Photoshop 7 or higher (can also use PSP)

 

1. Select a graphic to use, generally one with large graphics instead of small details

 

2. Go to the Layer tab> Duplicate Layer

 

3. Go to the Filter tab> Texture> Patchwork with Square size 4 and Relief of 8

 

4. Go to the Filter tab> Blur> Motion Blur with an angle of -35 (35 degrees) and a distance of 100 pixels

 

5. Then, on the Layers tab (or Windows tab> Layers), have that pixelated layer highlighted and then do 55% opacity.

 

6. Save and show off to the world:

NOTE: You can always modify the angle and distance of the motion blur, as well as that of the opacity. It all depends on the kind of graphic you're using and the effect you're trying to get.

Excellent concept i did a bit of dabbling in this area of picture manipulation for desiging my own dvd menus and your way is alot easier than wat i used to do and certainly alot let programs. Will be sure to use it next time i have a home movie to be made. Keep up the good work MzWebFreak
