Cueball Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Affinity Photo 2021-05-27 22-18-22.mp4 I'm trying to blur the the with motion blur. It seems to be pulling pixels through my selection, which I do not want. I've tried various refine edge, but to no effect. Can someone with some experience, if possible, please help with a solution? I've attached two video screen shots for you to see what I mean.

Staff DWright Posted May 28, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hi @Cueball, Welcome to the forum This is caused as a result of the motion blur radius being very large, the way I get around this is to cut and paste the sky on a new layer blow the building and then on this new layer use the clone tool to add the sky to the cur out area and this will allow you to add the motion blur with high radius but remove the bleed through as shown in the attached screen shot.

Cueball Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) I'm not very knowledgeable, still learning. I managed to do this in Photoshop quite easily. Unsure why it seems a bit of a struggle in Affinity. I'll attach the image file for you, to give it a go. I really don't know where I'm going wrong here. The image looks really dark in Affinity for some reason, just bump up the exposure to bring it back, only if you decide to give it a go :-). Thanks for your reply and support by the way.

carl123 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 With the selection of the Sky active.... Layer > Duplicate Selection (CTRL+J) This will give you a new layer which is just the sky Does applying the motion blur to this new layer now give you your desired results?

Cueball Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Still has the same problem. If you watch the other video, I have the sky cut out, and it still has the same issue. Looks like its still pulling through the selection. I tried it with the (CTRL+J), still with the same result. I think I'll give up now. With something that should be so simple to do, it seems a lot of hassle in trying to make a simple blur effect work. It shouldn't pull through the selection. Thank you for trying to help though, very much appreciated. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Strange, I'm not seeing what you are seeing Try it with Preserve Alpha ticked in the Motion Blur dialogue box Also use the live motion blur filter and make sure it is a child of the Sky layer (as in my screenshot) Cueball 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Cueball Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 I used the live motion blur filter, I didn't know that was there, or to use it. I was using the blur under filters. However, the live blur filter did work. Thank you for your help in resolving my problem. Thank you 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
