Hey All....
Welcome to a brand new Effect at Image Magick!!
Under the function EFFECTS you will find a new effect called MOTION BLUR.
What it does is exactly what it sound like ....
Things,,,images, fonts, dingbats,
look as if they are in
M O T I O N

First,,,,you have to take whatever it is that you want to use,
put it onto a Transparent Background (provided below)
Output it, Save the URL, then back all the way up.
Put your original on a Black Background (provided below)
MOTION BLUR the original
then Composite the saved URL onto the Motion Blur piece
The hardest part is understanding the parameters which you indicate according to where you want your placement....
of your MOTION BLUR and your ORIGINAL to it.

PARAMETERS= 3 PARTS (NUMBERS)
THE FIRST 2 NUMBERS IN THE PARAMETER INDICATE THE
LENGTH
OF THE TRAIL.
THE 3RD NUMBER GIVES YOU THE DIRECTION OF THE TRAIL, BASED ON A CIRCLE
IE. 360 DEGREES.
(THE PARAMETER CAN THEN BE ANYWHERE FROM 1-359, + OR -

*** SOMETHING DIFFERENT ***
SINCE YOU ARE DOING "MOTION BLUR" TO THE ORIGINAL YOU ARE WORKING WITH, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT YOUR "BLUR" IS GOING TO BE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME COLOR AS YOUR ORIGINAL.
TO MIX THINGS UP, TRY ADDING A DIFFERENT COLOR TO YOUR "BLUR" BY USING
ENHANCE/HUE,
DECORATE/COMPOSITE
F/X TINT
YOU CAN ALSO ANNOTATE, DRAW OR EVEN PAINT ONTO THE ORIGINAL
(BEFORE YOU "BLUR" IT)
SPOTS/MARKS OF COLOR AND ONCE YOUR "ORIGINAL" BLURS,,,SO WILL THE
"ANNOTATED/PAINTED/DRAWN"
PART ....

***NOTE: FOR WHATEVER REASON, IF YOU USE TOO BIG OF NUMBERS RE: THE LENGTH, IMAGE MAGICK WILL GIVE YOU A POPUP ,,,SO INDICATE WHAT YOU WANT AND YOU WILL HAVE TO SEE IF IT IS WITHIN THE "ALLOWABLE" DISTANCE OR NOT.

AND THAT'S IT....
HAVE FUN,,,ENJOY AND LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN MAKE??
BTW,,,YOU WILL NEED THESE...
