I actually just tried to do something like that a few days ago and failed. Very happy I found your tutorial. Short, calm and precise. Learnt A LOT! Thank you.

Thank you so much. A really great video. 🥰

Thank you so much. I love how simply you explain all of the actions. Thank you so much.

This was so interesting. I had never heard of this effect before. Sometimes we don’t know what to do to give our photo a special touch. This was most interesting. You are a great teacher and I love your tutorials.

[@nicolesy]

Thanks so much, Richard, I appreciate it! I'm glad you found interest in the video :)

[@baggerrider8073]

Excellent tutorial. You take your time and explain every action. A refreshing change from videos where the presenter moves so quickly it’s almost like a slight of hand trick. Thank you!

[@tpiorkowski]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing these great techniques, really enjoyed it,

ADAMSKI BLUR, it's called " Panning " technic back on the film photography Era where photographer were more into capture technics rather than photoshop technics

I've seen this effect in photos and I really love it. I wondered how it was done, and now I know! I am so glad I came across your tutorial. You explained it so clearly. I can't wait to try it. Thank you!

Thanks!

[@joelmanscour6100]

Very nice

[@jeanniegirard8323]

what about doing it in On1?

[@SwissNetHawk]

Good tutorial. Only suggestion: copy the main layer and blur the copy. If you want to try out different versions, you always have access to the original image within your Photoshop file.

[@nicolesy]

That’s the entire purpose of using a smart object in the video. They are fully re-editable so you don’t lose your original image.

[@steffidi3759]

Fantastic video - easy to follow, great visual support in the video as well. I have one problem ... whenever I apply e.g. the path blur and hit okay - it turns back to the old picture and doesn't show the effect anymore. What am I doing wrong?

[@wwishman]

Can this be done using Photoshop on an iPad? If so, could you do a video showing the steps?

[@nicolesy]

The iPad version of Photoshop is limited compared with the desktop version. I don't believe it has the same lens blur capabilities.

[@wwishman]

@@nicolesy that is what I thought, just wanted to check. Thanks
