Hey guys, its Clayton Jenkins with yet another Photoshop tutorial. Today I’m going to show you guys how to do a Zoom and Type camera effect, I guess most of this could be useful on placing emphasis on an object or adding the sense of motion to a picture so I’ll do an example or two. So I found this picture over on flicker.com under Creative Collin’s Lessons and we are going to be adding a Camera Blur, okay. So I’m going to go ahead and use, slip the screen left to go to Marquee Tool, mark it down here and holding down, dropping on to the Elliptical Marquee tool, you’re going to want to highly or fairly high feather on, I’m going to try 30 but I think anywhere between, you know, depending on the size of your photo, to intend in 30 or 40, well it worked, then I’m going to go ahead and slick the area which I want to, in the finished product not be blurry, okay then I’m going to go ahead hold Control Shift and I, and what that does is that it changes the selection from the ellipses and inverts it to the surrounding area, and that you can see this running here in the surrounding area selected. Now we’re going to want to go to filter, blur, radio blur, the default where math you will be spending you want to take that to zero and it’s up to you on the amount, I want to go ahead math like 46, the quality will leave it good, and as you can see it kind of created a blur around the figure. In this particular case, I think I would have gone a little bit closer, so maybe just catch the gun on emphasis, go ahead and hold Control Shift I again and then it should be up here on your filter, the one that you just used. And that places some really, really good emphasis on the character in handling, kind of, it actually worked out pretty good, placing emphasis on the shotgun and the guy’s gas mask.
Another example is you could, you know, maybe do something like a car chase like if you were, I don’t know, it’s not really good car here, maybe just try selecting this car right here, what do I don’t see here, hit on my elliptical like that, let’s see here, that’s not going to work. Let’s just get try and see how it goes, oh I need them, invert it, yeah. So it gives it a nice car chase, this would be really; this will work out really, really well. I think obviously you’d want the car to fill up the center or like in this line right here, for artistic reasons, this won’t work very well, if you zoom it then it creates a pretty cool effect so I’m thinking that if you’d just have a different image this should work out really, really well.
So I guess the key points for you to remember are you’ll look to Coal Tool, your Feather, your Control Shift I to invert the selection and the Filter Blur and Radio Blur and this has been a really, really great and easy tutorial by Clayton Jenkins, I hope you subscribe and come back for more Photoshop tutorials later on, cheers.
