Motion Blur Effect

Instead of using a car for the motion blur effect, I used a man running. To make this effect, you must unlock the photo that you are about to use the effect on. Then, use the quick selection tool to selsct the object of which you want the motion effect on. Next, hit CTRL 'J' to copy the selected area, and then apply a motion blur by going to Filter-Blur-Motion Blur. Set the distance of pixels to a high amount and press apply. Next, add a levels layer, drag the levels layer below the copy layer and join the the copy to the levels layer by using CTRL 'G'. Apply a gradient tool to the levels layer to the front of the object you are apllying the effect to. Then, select both the copy and the levels layer and duplicate it until you like your picture!
