Photoshop Tutorial: Pixel Stretching Using Motion Blur

[Saint_Michael 3]

Here's a new way to pixel stretch using motion blur that I just found, going to teach you how to use it.

 

1. Open up a new document im using 350x150

 

 

2. Now fill the layer with black then grab a render and apply the following settings to it.

 

 

note=you can change the color to it but this is the color im using for this tutorial

 

3. make copy of your render then go to filter>sketch>halftone pattern> then use the following settings. with the following colors: background=#515e49 foreground=#796a44.

4. go to filter>blur> gaussian blur and set it to 4 then set to overlay to give it a darker tone

 

 

5. Make a copy of it then go to filter>blur>motion blur set it at 92 angle at 0 and then bring that layer to the left just enough that it covers the area around the border.

 

 

6. since this requires alot of layers best thing to do is make a 5 copies of it to set up the blur and then just duplicate the layers and adjust them accordingly. then make a new layer then go to image apply image and then you can delete all those layers to clean it up a bit.

 

7. Move your original render up top and this is what you should have this.

 

 

Thats about it, it is pretty simple and it doesn't require the use of ctrl+t and the single column marquee tool. But its up to you on how you want to brush it but this is what i came up with rather quickly after doing that 6 step process.
