Interesting effects! Well done and welcome to the forum. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Nice outcome. Good beginners tute. Well done!

On that dialog box that tells you that it could harm your computer is there an advance option? You should have an option there to run it anyway.

Thankies so much!

I'd like 10 a day if that were possible, please?

I ran out of votes again

Yep, no crashes. 😀

Yep, no crashes but renders pretty rough (jagged?) is it meant to?

Spider photo is mine It is a slender sac spider.

Congratulations winners! Lynxter4 did an excellent job! Well done to the place getters & all who entered & voted.

Have you tried restarting the computer? This happened to me once too. I suspect I bumped some keys. Poor kitty.

Congratulations to @welshblue & @Pixey! So many beautiful entries. Thank you @lynxster4 for hosting duties once again

I think you nailed it. :D I knew there was more but I just didn't know what else. Way to go @welshblue

Put the car on its own transparent layer. Reduce the size of the car or or do a canvas resize (Image tab) so you can make the blur longer. I used the for this & used Layers > Rotate/Zoom & reduce the car size to 0.69. Duplicate that layer & on the bottom layer run Effects > Object > Trail. Increase the distance (82 is what I used) to your liking but leave the Spacing at 1. Tick Fade Out & High Quality. You could then reduce the opacity of the layer to your liking. I think mine was about 215. If you are feeling very adventurous, put the Trail layer on top of the car & use a transparent gradient to blur just the rear end of the car. I think it might be better to start the gradient from the back of the car. You can always right click on the circular nubs to change the direction if that makes sense. There may be more than one way to achieve the look you are after but I hope this helps.

My got to would be Effects>Color>Color Flip/Rotate...plugins but that is the point isn't it of having a program with plugins & plugin developers. That one is one of the Ed Harvey Effects that I have had for years & love! Second choice is Conditional Hue/Saturation but then there are a few to choose from...

Yep, I heard that stamp & the pout too! Seriously, thank you for hosting @lynxster4

Oh the frustration when that happens

Use a fatter text to begin with maybe? You may have to separate all the letters & put then on their own layer & manipulate them to get the size shape you want.

Fire's Awakening has such movement! Very nicely done.

Just a thought...have you tried shutting down & restarting - plug in to power too. There may be something running in the background...Microsoft does updates all the time & Malwarebytes is about to get the boot from me.

Able to replicate the issue on my machine on a 7680 x 4320px image with lots of layers. I don't consider this to be a real issue but a trade-off in working with such a large image. @LoudSilenceI have also edited the title so that it more clearly reflects the problem, making it easier for people with a similar issue to get search results. Attached is my specs as per @toe_head2001suggestion. Barbieq's PC Specs PDN.pdf
