In this tutorial you will learn how to take this image:
and turn in into this:
Lets get started!
If you do not have a screenshot yet, you can use mine.
Just click here to go to the image (1280x1024)First step is to open the image in photoshop, and create a copy of the layer.
Name your layers: Original, and Cut.
*NOTE*
I recommend that you always duplicate your layers that you do work on, just in case you mess up something you always can go back and start all over, because Ctrl+Z will not go back more than 10-15 undos.Alright so you should have this:
Select your "Cut" layer and choose the Magnetic Lasso Tool
Once that is selected, click once and go around the car, try to select around the car, do keep in mind you wont get everyhitng, but thats fine.
Mine came out as this:
once you have that, select your Elliptical Marquee Tool
using SHIFT + and - try to get the selection around the car to look like this:
Good!, with the Elliptical tool still selected (and the Cut layer), right click and click on "Layer Via Cut"
Once you clicked on that you should see another Layer. The Cut layer is the layer with the Background and the new layer is the layer with the car.
Make sure you have the Cut layer selected (the one with the background not the one with the car)
Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur...
Once you go there, put these settings in (you might need to change them accordingly to how much blur you want.)
Click OK, and you are done!
It should look like this:
And with a couple of other tweaks you could get something like this:
