1. On your picture create new layer by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + N
,then fill the layer with black.


2. Go to
Filter > Noise > Add Noise
and do the following settings

5. Repeat steps 1,2,4 , three times ( can do it more then that) but remember to do different settings for
(STEP #3), change the angle of Motion Blur so each time in your layer you go down a number in angle (e.g.; I will do it -63,-64,-65,-66)

To save it as gif or jpg don't click on save just choose 'save as' from file menu.

Yo usy, this has nothing to do with your tutorial (which is awesome, btw!), but could you make an avatar that says CIO on it an then animations of indian cricketers, Sachin, Dravid, Dhoni, Pathan, ect?

Thanks mate, your getting better and better at graphics.

It's 6 times over the limit. Perhaps Usy could post some tips on reducing file size without reducing quality too much...
