How To BLUR WATER in PHOTOSHOP

[@AnthonyMorganti]

If you're ever out and you find some flowing water and you don't have a tripod or an ND filter with you, you can still make the water blur. In this video, I demonstrate how to do it with Photoshop. You can do this in Affinity Photo too. A couple of years ago I did a video on how to do it with Affinity and you can watch that video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2mQmnhugtWJoKs This is me on Instagram: instagram.com/anthonymorganti/ Check out my ALL NEW, iso adaptive, Lightroom Presets -- a HUGE pack of over 500 presets: www.anthonymorganti.com/ ** I am an affiliate for all of the companies listed EXCEPT Affinity Photo.

Ok I just heard you saw it was. Thanks!

[@gregalbrechsten9209]

Great work!

[@Mimiclobster]

Love this method. A life saver in a pinch.

[@tudorjones2993]

Wow what a great tutorial. I found that using this with a series of 15-20 images that I recently took of waves crashing into rocks at North Berwick, Scotland worked at treat even with hand holding in a gale

[@jorgemtrevino]

When you get to the step shown around minute 5:00, is the time you get up from the computer and go fix yourself aa drink! I've done it for focus extension... 😂 Excellent video; super handy for those times one gets lazy and didin't bring that tripod. My X-T4 is terriffic at doing brackets and should manage that beautifully, I'll try that come Sunday at the local river. The opposite -- removing blur- would come real handy too. Thanks a bunch!!

[@marianaventer6069]

All the way from South Africa a big thank you. As I am heading to the sea soon without HD filters this is going to work perfectly, you explained everything well and easy to understand and follow along - thanks!

[@BobG-eh5fc]

What a great tip and workflow!!! Great idea!!! Thanks.

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

Very clever - I shall put it to use next time I get the chance!

GREAT technique. I wish I had had this idea last week.

Next time!

Is that Glen Falls Williamsville NY?

Good one Anthony

[@desertgecko4549]

Truly an outstanding tutorial, Anthony. A useful one, too.

[@haroldhauser9905]

How do you copy the processed file with all the other 36 files per your instruction to process one file and copy this process to the rest of the images?

[@dovidell]

how much RAM should one have to work with ( please )

[@carlachirigos1576]

I've yet to purchase ND filters for my Oly Mirrorless so I just may try this option instead and save a few $$s, thank you immensely!

[@bigbigsquid]

Excellent! Thank you 😀

[@AnthonyMorganti]

You're very welcome and thanks for watching!

[@Suhailkhan53]

Nice tutorial

[@longboardfella5306]

Very neat. Too bad for those older photos where I took only one or two shots. Lesson learned. Btw the iPhone can do this internally if you shoot with live view then you can press the photo and convert to long exposure. You need to hold the phone steady for about 5 secs when taking photo

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Yes, I just saw that phone trick on TikTok. I definitely have to try it!

[@rfwells1]

Is that Glen Falls? I grew up nearby.

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Yes it is!

[@griffenboy41]

Anthony, I already took a waterfall photo before I watched your great and informative video. Can I modify the procedure to do the same thing with a single photo rather than a series? Thanks

[@AnthonyMorganti]

No, you'll need a series of images so all the moving parts in the scene get blended.

[@clintgoulet7572]

Great content.. always a help if you are unprepared for such a photo..I am curious if it matters what manual settings you use to take the photo or does this technique work no matter what?

[@shlomoeshet8525]

Having probably watched your older videos or similar ones on this technique I am quite familiar with it. I wonder is there a rule of thumb for the number of images needed for it and maybe other settings, such as shutter speed etc.? Thanks.

[@jeffellis6544]

At the end he said “around 20 is the sweet spot”

[@shlomoeshet8525]

@@jeffellis6544 Thanks

[@stevevoke]

Hi Anthony, thanks for that tutorial. You said this process is possible to do in other photo software. I use On 1 Photo Raw as my photo software. Would it be possible for you to show us how you would do the same thing in that program please? It would certainly be helpful for me, and perhaps others as well. I really enjoy watching your tutorials, you explain things clearly and simply. All the best to you, Steve

[@gbarr711]

Hello there. Love the idea of this, but could you show a similar thing in Affinity Photo please. It is similar to PS but there are slight differences that I can't get right. Any help would be great.

[@samwilson4012]

Did you see the description where Anthony puts a link to a video he's already done for Affinity? He also put it in the first comment. Hopefully that will help

[@gbarr711]

@@samwilson4012 nope, never saw it. Cheers.

[@garrygeorge2811]

As you duplicated the smart object before processing it through one of the stats algorithms, you could simply rasterise one of the smart objects, rather than importing one of your images.

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Good point. Thank you for sharing!

[@pedrolopezwollstein3507]

Genial.

[@skyphotography643]

Still some technics can only be done through photoshop not through any other editng softwares.

[@marslan1]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Ericbjohnston5150]

Dont understand why people go crazy over unsharp blurry water photos. I want super sharp photos that matches what I see in real life. To each their own.

[@alangibson3293]

WHY??? Why ruin a nice picture with candy floss. Keep it natural.

[@jeffellis6544]

Why not learn new techniques to have in your toolbox? Information is power…

[@alangibson3293]

@@jeffellis6544 I take a picture without anything but a camera and a lens. If it's good ok, if not it goes. Called simplicity.
