Blurring Images

Gaussian Blur
This is the easiest type of blur to do. Firstly select the image you would like to use- preferably a plain one but not so plain it's just white.
1. After you have opened your image in Photoshop, click Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian Blur
2. Now select the radius of the blur. The more the radius the more the blur

Motion Blur
As the name motion blur suggests, the image after the use of a motion blur looks rather like it has been moved.
1. After you open your image in Photoshop. go to Filter>>Blur>>Motion Blur
2. Once again, the more the radis the more the blur.
3. Now you have the opportunity to play around with your angle. Whether you want the blur to be up or down, left or right

You can fiddle around for yourself, these are just the basics. Once you get the hang of it you can explore on your own. If you have any questions please feel free to drop me an email.
