In Part 2 (of two) of this tutorial learn how you can create the effect of object rapid movement using as an example a fast moving car.
Final Image Preview
Step 1
Open PSD file that was created on Part 1 of this tutorial. Duplicate car layer by selecting car layer and using Ctrl+J. On new layer (Car Copy) go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur:
Step 2
Apply Edit > Transform > Skew to this layer:
Step 3
Change blending layer mode to Dissolve.
Step 4
Finally set Opacity for this layer to 10%.
Step 5
Select Eraser Tool with soft-edged brush and erase dust in the hood area and side of the car.
Step 6
Duplicate layer with the car once more (Car Copy 2) and merge this layer with layer we’ve just been working on (Car Copy) . As a result we get three layers: background layer, layer with the car and the layer with processed car (it’s situated above others).
Step 7
Select top layer and go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur.
Step 8
Change blending layer mode to Lighten.
Step 9
Select Eraser Tool with soft-edged brush again and erase the exposed part in hood area.
Step 10
Merge all layers with the car and we will have again only two layers: background layer and car layer. Duplicate car layer using Ctrl+J and go to Filter > Liquify for copied layer.
On the end you should have something similar to what i have:
Step 11
Change blending layer mode to Linear Dodge (Add).
Step 12
Select Eraser Tool with soft-edged brush one more time and erase everything from the front side of the car.
Step 13
Create a new layer on top. Go to Gradient Tool, select Transparent Rainbow (standard Photoshop gradient) and make sure option Linear Gradient is selected. Fill new layer with this gradient.
Step 14
Go to Edit > Transformer > Warp with layer selected.
Step 15
Select Eraser Tool with soft-edged brush one more time and erase gradient from the front side of the car.
Step 16
Change blending layer mode to Overlay.
Final Image
Create a new layer, assign Soft Light blending mode for it. Pick up soft-edged brush and using the Brush Tool lighten the nearest headlight and the hood around the headlight and darken the edges of the image. To lighten we use white color (#ffffff), to darken – the black one (#000000). In the end set the layer opacity down to about 30%.
And our tutorial is finished.

Well at step 13 when i try to apply the gradient it just goes and covers all the file not just over the car
It’s a nice effect … however the direction of the motion blur is not lined up with the motion path of the vehicle, so it looks more like a cool swoosh effect than a speed blur I think.
COOL!
beautifully work, I like this
nice work and a great introduction to many PS features.
really nice!!!!!!!!!!!
OWSM..MAN…NO WORDS..ITS AMZAING…
I wanted to make a motion blue on a class assignment. My image is a horse with butterfly wings but your adding the rainbow gradient raises it to a totally different level. It make it even more dazzling. Fingers crossed I can do it!
Yes I can! Yes I can! Yes I can, said the little train! hehe
Thank you very much! This kind of tutorial makes learning so much fun and takes away the sting of staying inside on a beautiful.
Of course, you’ve now raised the bar for your self! ha ha!
I look fwd to more spectacular tutorials.
again, thanks!
Nice editing .. i like d steps …
Heyy, i really loved the final image and i was hoping to use this for my car image that i took for my movement/motion project. But, i am kind of stuck on the 5th step for the 2nd part because i can’t find the right eraser to rub just the dust and not the car at the same time.
plz reply…..
