In this Photoshop Effects tutorial, we’re going to learn how to give a photo a "painterly glow" effect using several instances of the Motion Blur filter. I call it a “painterly glow” because the final result looks sort of like a combination of a painting and glow effect. This is a very easy effect to create, but to help make it even easier, we’ll be using Smart Filters, first introduced in Photoshop CS3, which means you’ll need Photoshop CS3 or higher to follow along. It is possible to create this same photo effect in Photoshop CS2 or earlier without using Smart Filters, but as with all of our Photoshop tutorials, the main purpose here is not to memorize steps but to learn how Photoshop really works, and this effect gives us a great opportunity to get some hands-on experience with one of the best new features Adobe has added to Photoshop in years.
