Different Blur Effects. Is It Possible To Create This Kind Of Blur?

Hi I'm trying to create a poster like this. It's nearly done except for the grainy effects (noise) and the guassain blur.


Is there a way of adding effects to the whole of the psd file and changing the contrast/hue without having to flatten the layers?

Thanks.

Hello , first of all Iam very new to photoshop and to be honest I am planing to only use Photoshop to make wallpapers. And right now I feel that there is not alot of eyefinitywallpapers (5750*1080) that I feel that I enjoy so I was thinking I could put 3 images together and maybe add some nice blur effect so its not just 3 images together cause even I can do that just by selecting 3 different wallpapers If anyone would be so kind to help me out how to do this(and maybe even how to do some cool effects on images) please be precise since as I mentioned I am very new to this

Hi. I did research on web, but did not find anything useful. I was hoping I can find some help here. I need to remove the blur from this pic for personal reasons. Any decent degree of blur removal or any modifications to make the face more recognizable are welcomed. I know the "this is not CSI" joke, but maybe something can be done. Thanks in advance.

Hallo everybody,
following a tut about Photoshop compositing, I have to create a fake shadow on the ground. I make it pretty good (see image 1) using tre different layer copy with different blendings mode and Opacity.




But when i Merge three layer i loose my semitransparent shadow...it becomes completely black, at the starting point...
(see image 2)



What it wrong?

And than, if I want to blur the (unique) faked shadow layer, how can i male it without blurring all layers of the document? I try to use an empty layer as a Clipping mask, and I applied blur to it, without results...
please help!

Thx!

Help! I can't seem to find the effects parameters in cs6. I am missing something HUGE. I am applying a blur, preview window pops up - great, effect applies. Now I want to change thie parameter. HOw do I access the controls? It seems some effects will show up in the layer window, but not all. I want to save, copy and paste effects I've built but don't know where they are??? Am I missing a window or preference or something??
Many thanks

I linked here to the biggest picture of any galaxy taken by the Hubble telescope of Andromeda, M31. It is such an incredible photo, and when I zoom in, I can see each star.


But, as good as the Hubble is, each star is a bit of a blur due to the very long exposure times, and weaknesses of the photo sensors, etc...so the stars appear much larger than they really are. When you look up at night into the sky, you don't see each star as a blob like these, but rather, a pinpoint of tiniest light, sharp with emptiness around it.

So, the challenge is...is it possible to edit this photo to make each star a much smaller point of light, so the stars would appear as they do in reality?

If it's too big of a project, what about editing just a small frame of a zoomed-in image, like the pic above?

Hello everyone, M1GMan Here! I'm working on a Veterans Day wallpaper project for this year, and I wanted to include the atrocities of war (no graphic content) in which a girl is sitting next to a bunker wall in the midst of the aftermath of a fearsome bombing raid (in reference to the Blitz that occurred in 1940-41). The subject's name is Louise Brooks, and the original picture is a snapshot from the 1928 silent film Beggars of Life that she appeared in. I've already worked on matching colors with the destroyed church, the sky, the rubble and debris, and somewhat with the bunker wall that she's suppose to sit against, in relation to the subject herself using Photoshop CS3.

What I need: I need the subject to look like as if she is actually sitting against the bunker wall by adding any effects to make it look natural (you can use shadows, blur effects, lighting effects, etc.). Don't worry about the rubble and debris background and the church, for I'll take care of those elements later. But for now, I just need you to make the bunker wall and the girl look like they go together. I've added a PSD file to make it convenient for you to work with the separate layers in which each should have at least two copies of each other (with the exception of the destroyed church, and additional copies of the Louise Brooks photo that I made for cutting her out of the original background).

If you need any additional information or materials, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hey all. I'm trying to recreate the blur effects of the logo(s) used for the Tate Modern.

The logos:






The topic has been discussed befo

One of the solutions suggests using gradient masks, feathering and adjusting the curves. This works but falls short of achieving the more exaggerated effect of for instance the last two photo I've posted above. Are there other things I can do to bloat/obscure the shape of the letters? I also want them to still look like there going in/out of focus.

In addition I've had trouble with the gradient masks:



As you may be able to see, part of the text (diagonally across the middle) is masked over slightly. The idea was to create two complementing gradient masks so one masks over the top left one layer, one masks over the bottom right of one layer so when the layers are placed on top of each other it creates one seamless, solid color. I thought I could do this by copying the gradient mask of the first layer, moving it to the second layer and inverting the colors, but as you can see a grey area appears, where the two fading gradient masks seem to overlap. Here is the text with the gradient masks disabled:



Also the original typeface they used is supposedly VAG Rounded.

Thank you so much for your time!

Hey, I am trying to learn how take a blurry, pixelated image of a persons avatar in various virtual worlds and make it look almost human...here are some examples of the great work of =Marco=




and then here are my sad attempts

NO comparison, his work is crisp, clean, minimal blur, just vastly superior in every way.
So my question is, what program add-on, filter or special powers does this guy have to make his images so great? Any help would be amazingly awesome.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any info or ideas!

I am trying to make some videos using still images but want to add some creativity to them. I want to be able to make certain subjects in the images pop out like in the following two videos:

(I can't post links so you will have to search you tube for the following videos)
1. George Strait's "Troubadour" official video (use these search words: "george strait troubadour")
2. Cee Lo Green's "Thank you" video (use these search words: "thank you cee lo green" -its the firefighter video)

Sorry for not posting links but my account is not allowed to post links yet.

I want to use the 3d/pop-out style effects. I am not sure where to start on how to get certain elements in the image to pop out and others blur into the background. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
