About the Motion Blur Effect
The Img Stop Motion Blur tool adds the feeling of movement to still photos. A directional blur streaks the picture along any angle like a fast pan; a zoom blur rushes outwards from a point as if the camera zoomed during the exposure; and a spin blur swirls the image around a centre like wheels or a fairground ride.
The best motion shots keep the subject sharp, so you can protect a circle or rectangle around the main subject with a soft transition. Click the preview to choose the centre, adjust the strength to blend with the original, and process one photo or a whole set.
