About LizaL
Expertise
I've used Photoshop since the release of version 2. I taught college commercial art and graphic design for 10 years, and within that realm, taught Photoshop at every level, and with each successive product upgrade. My experience with Photoshop is thus extensive and well-rounded, from photo retouching to color adjustment to incorporating Photoshop and ImageReady into Web design. I am primarily a Mac user (since 1985), but am also PC-savvy.

Experience
I've been a graphic designer for 22 years, was a national magazine art director, a designer for the Department of Defense, a college art instructor, and have my own freelance Web and graphic design business, LittleWorks (www.little-works.com). I've also worked for several printing companies, in both prepress and art.

Awards and Honors
PICA award (Printing Industry of the Carolinas Award for the design of a media kit that accompanied a magazine I was art directing at the time)

Adobe Photoshop - radial blur with quick mask

If there's a tutorial on this? I couldn't find it.

Thank you,
Randy

Answer
Hi Randy,

I don't use radial blur much, but I did find some tutorials on it.

1. This one uses Quick Mask, and might be the way you did your picture:

2. This one is a little more involved, but it does give a neat effect:
