TIP
When you apply filters to an image, duplicate the
background layer, and then apply the filter to the
duplicated layer. You can then vary the effect by changing
the opacity of the layer to which you apply the filter.

Create a Zoom Blur
One cool effect photographers use is to mount a camera on a tripod and select a
small aperture (high f-stop number) to achieve a slow shutter speed. Then they
take a picture of an object with their zoom lens at its lowest magnification and
quickly zoom to the highest magnification. The effect makes it look as though
the object is rushing toward you. You can achieve the same effect in Photoshop
Elements using the Radial Blur filter.
QUICKFACTS
USING THIRD-PARTY FILTERS
In addition to using the filters that ship with Photoshop
Elements, you can augment your work using third-party
filters. Before you purchase third-party filters, however,
make sure that they??™re compatible with Photoshop
Elements. When you install these filters according to the
manufacturer??™s instructions, most appear at the end of
the Filters menu, while some appear in the Automation
Tools menu.
