Fairy Dust – add a magical touch to your photos!
Copy Background layer. Opacity 80% with Lighten blend mode.
Filter > Blur > Motion Blur – angle 30 and 150 pixels for high res image, less for low res
Copy Background layer again. Opacity 80% with Lighten blend mode.
Filter > Blur > Motion Blur – angle -30 (minus this time) and 150 pixels or whatever you used on the first layer.
That’s it!
Susan, did you mean to just add the fairy dust to the background only? I’m assuming you had a separate background that you wanted to use to add the irises to.
The effect is on the total image… not sure what you are seeing.
