How to create an effect?

A good picture is not just aa high-quality photo, which captures those moments that can not be returned any more, a good shot, first of all, conveys the atmosphere of that very moment. However, often, looking at a seemingly good photo, you realize that something is definitely missing. And then comes to the aid of Photoshop. At your own discretion, photos can add missing effects. For example, you have a photo of a motorcyclist moving at high speed, and you want to add some dynamics and even more realism. Well, there's nothing easier! Learn how to create a motion effect and get to work.

Effect of motion in Photoshop

For work you will need: the original photo, the photoshop program and the desire to create.

1. Open the picture of the moving motorcyclist, make a copy of the background (you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + J);
2. Then on the new layer you get, start working - open the "Filters" tab, select "Blur in motion". Then determine the angle and degree of blurring.
3. The whole picture turned out to be blurry, we need it,so that only the background was blurred, and not a motorcyclist. To do this, select the Eraser tool on the left, reduce the stiffness so that it is soft and begin to "erase" the rider.
4. That's all, you got a more "live" picture!

The effect of a frame from a movie in Photoshop

The effect of cinema for photos is quite popular. The main thing is that you do not need special skills, everything is very simple.

1. Open the photo you want. Create a new adjustment layer "Hue / Saturation". Saturation of the photo lower by about half.
2. Combine the layers using the keyboard shortcutShift + Ctrl + E. Slightly correct the exposure of your photo, for this go to the tab "Image - Correction - Exposure". Now your photo has become more contrast.
3. Create a vignette: go to the "Filters - Distortion Correction - Custom" tab, move the slider to the left so that the vignette is darker. Click "Ok".
4. Finally, create a sepia effect, for thisgo to the tab "Image - Correction - Photo Filter" and select the appropriate one. Also you can optionally add a little blur to your photo and two black bars on top and bottom.

Shot from the movie is ready!
