[QUOTE="ZiN, post: 12150, member: 3676"] Ok, lets see here. [B]Eduard:[/B] I will attempt to explain but I'm afraid with Photoshop I tend to just do, if that makes any sense. I'm also better at teaching in person but that doesn't help right now, moving on. Basically I made some alternations to the lighting first and then once I was happy with that I made a copy of the image to a new layer. Then went to filters/distort/zoom?, not sure of the exact one but it gives you the option to blur the image in an outward direction. From there once I got what I was looking for I turned on the masking layer and traced out the fighter with the lasso tool, filled the area to mask the effect on the fighter, then tweaked as necessary. Doubled up the masking layer to add another layer filter. Then done. [B] Joseph:[/B] That is definitely something for me to keep in mind in the future. The original had a little more of the ring in it and the overhead lighting, I just wanted to tidy that up a bit.
