HERE’S HOW HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP’S BLUR GALLERY

outer circle. Use the square handles to size it,

and the pinpoint dots to reshape the inside,

which is the area that spins.

We chose to spin a couple of tires. We

selected a Blur Angle of 20 degrees for the

first and a Blur Angle of 55 degrees for the

second to illustrate the different angles and

the precise control one has over manipulating

the spinning radius.

GALLERY EFFECTS TOOLS

Bokeh Effects

As described in the second paragraph, the

Bokeh effects in our example create smooth,

silky circles of light with soft, glowing edges.

Notice that the background lights

around the ornament in our Christmas photo

are gold and white only, and appear as

confetti-like dots on the tree. After we

applied an Iris Blur of 102

pixels, with 69 percent of

Bokeh Light, 56 percent

of Bokeh color, and a

Light Range of 210, the

ornament now glows on a

background of soft,

colorful lights.

Motion Effects

These effects work only on

Spin Blur and Path Blur.

There must be a path or

radius of motion to get

Motion Effects. Spin Blur is measured in degrees.
