Driver09 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hi I'm a car photographer and I just discovered Affinity Photo and love it I just have a specific edit I'm trying to achieve that I haven't found the exact tutorial for. I do a lot of rolling shots for cars and aside from the partial motion blur the camera does I need a way to intensify the motion blur when editing like in the picture. I found the motion blur layer and it didn't work exactly like the pictures, maybe I'm doing it wrong, but some instructions would be greatly appreciated! I want to note that I like the motion with the lines on the road not just blurred background and the car needs to remain in focus exactly like the pictures.

JFisher Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hi Driver09 Welcome to the forum This tutorial explains how to add a motion blur effect, you can use the eraser tool to deselect certain areas of the image to preserve the car.

carl123 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Motion Blur is what you need for the lines on the road but the effect does not appear as strong as in Photoshop. You may have to find something else to augment it. Driver09 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Deselecting parts of the image didn't work for me - I could still see a halo where the original image bled into the blurred area, regardless of the direction of the blur. As with other blur effects, I found I got better results by cutting out the sharp area and pasting it back in when the blurring was finished. I was able to produce a much stronger blur by reapplying the filter after I'd merged the first one.
