here's a tip
from Sid 6.7 This is a
cool effect that was inspired by the
"Prodigy: Fat
of the land" CD cover... Basically it makes the image look like its moving
towards you...
Pic out your favorite picture, (i.e. a car, an animal...) Make
sure the image is
in RGB mode. You can check by clicking on
Image and then Mode.
Make a quick mask.
Select the area of the image you
want to look clear... (i.e. the front of the
car, Quick
Mask channel in the Channels palette. head of the animal.) using the laso
or marquee tool.
Select>Inverse
Edit>Fill fill with black 100%, then do
Select>None
Apply a gaussian blur arounr 13 or 14, 9 or 10 for small
images.
Now use
the Brush Strokes>Sprayed Strokes filter. Stroke length 12,
Rad.
7, right diagonal.
Now go back to Standard edit mode.
Inverse your selection.
Apply a radial blur zoom.
Amount 40 And there you go!
