mF19fSIi8p Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I want to achieve a cool looking tach blur like this stock image. I have seen these in newsprint car ads, etc These are all the images I have made so far (just signatures) I have been using paint.net for about 2 weeks now.I have looked at the blur faq, tried to do blending, radial blur but it just did'nt turn out or I had no clue what I was doing to get the desired effect. I took two photos one with the tach at 6krpm and another with it at 7.5krpm . As much I was able to do was to line up the two layers pretty much as well as I could. Anyways I uploaded my pdn in a rar archive if someone can open it, figure it out or tell me how to get it done. Thanks. http://rapidshare.com/files/200240309/o ... d.rar.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mF19fSIi8p Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 yes the motion blur but can't figure out how to just blur the area between the yellow needles and just that area only and a difference between the two layers or something. But yes I tried it, but the rest of the tach was blurred to and looked like . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 You can apply a Radial Blur like you normally would, then add a solid bar or whatever at the end of the radial, with the opacity turned down a little.

HELEN Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Or you can try a fragment blur and adjust the settings.
