It doesn't have to be surgically precise, but try not to stray too far from the edges of the  waterfall: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/select-waterfall.jpg\" alt=\"Using the Lasso tool to drag a selection around the waterfall.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Use the Lasso tool to drag a selection around the  waterfall. <\/div>\n<h4>Step 2: Copy the Selection Onto Its Own Layer<\/h4>\n<p>With the  waterfall  selected, use the keyboard shortcut <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) to copy it onto its own layer above the Background layer. You won't see anything happen in the document window, but if you look in the Layers panel, you'll see the  waterfall  on a new layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/new-layer.gif\" alt=\"The waterfall is now on a new layer above the Background layer.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Press \"Ctrl+J\" (Win) \/ \"Command+J\" (Mac) to copy the  waterfall  onto a new layer. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 3:<\/span> Apply The Motion Blur Filter To The New Layer<\/h4>\n<p>With our  waterfall  now copied to its own layer, we can create our &quot;silky smooth&quot; effect by applying the Motion Blur filter to it. To do that, go up to the <strong>Filter menu<\/strong> at the top of the screen, select <strong>Blur<\/strong>, and then select <strong>Motion Blur<\/strong>. This brings up the Motion Blur dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/motion-blur-db.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop's Motion Blur filter dialog box.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop's \"Motion Blur\" dialog box. <\/div>\n<p>Adjust the <strong>Angle<\/strong> of the blur so it matches the angle at which the  water  is falling. In most cases, this would be <strong>90\u00b0<\/strong>, since  water  would normally fall straight down. In my case, since the  water  is rushing so quickly over the edge, it's actually falling at a bit of an angle, so I've set my blur angle to <strong>-77\u00b0<\/strong>. The easiest way to match your blur angle to the  water  is to click inside the Angle value box and then increase or decrease the value one degree at a time using the <strong>up or down arrow keys<\/strong> on your keyboard, which is what I've done.<\/p>\n<p>Once you've set the correct angle, drag the <strong>Distance<\/strong> slider at the bottom until your  waterfall  looks nice and silky. I've dragged mine to a value of <strong>73<\/strong> pixels, which gives me a nice effect. <\/p>\n<p>Here's my image after applying the Motion Blur filter: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/image-motion-blur.jpg\" alt=\"The image after applying the Motion Blur filter.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after applying Motion Blur.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 4: Add A Layer Mask To The  Waterfall  Layer<\/h4>\n<p>The motion blur effect looks nice, but it needs a little cleaning up since the blur is extending outside the edges of the  waterfall.  We can clean it up easily using a <strong><a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layer-masks\/\">layer mask<\/a><\/strong>. To do that, with the  waterfall  layer selected, click on the <strong>Layer Mask<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/add-layer-mask.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the 'Add A Layer Mask' icon at the bottom of the Layers palette.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Layer Mask icon.<\/div>\n<p>This adds a layer mask to the layer, and you can see the <strong>layer mask thumbnail<\/strong> on the layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/layer-mask-thumbnail.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop's Layers palette now showing the layer mask thumbnail on the waterfall layer.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A layer mask thumbnail appears.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 5: Paint With Black On The Layer Mask To Clean Up The Blur Effect<\/h4>\n<p>Press <strong>D<\/strong> on your keyboard to quickly reset your <strong>Foreground and Background<\/strong> colors, so <strong>black<\/strong> becomes your Foreground color. Then grab your <strong>Brush Tool<\/strong> from the Tools panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/select-brush-tool.gif\" alt=\"Selceting the Brush tool from the Tools palette.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select the Brush tool from the Tools palette.<\/div>\n<p>You can also press <strong>B<\/strong> on your keyboard to quickly select it.<\/p>\n<p>Then, with black as your foreground color, which is the color your brush paints with, paint away any unwanted blurred areas around the  waterfall,  most of which will be along the top and bottom. Use a soft-edged brush for best results. You can resize your brush as needed using the <strong>left and right bracket keys ( [ and ] )<\/strong> on your keyboard, and you can soften or harden the brush by holding down the <strong>Shift<\/strong> key and using the bracket keys. With the Shift key down, pressing the <strong>left bracket key<\/strong> softens the brush edge, and pressing the <strong>right bracket key<\/strong> hardens it. Paint over any unwanted blurred areas. Since we're using a layer mask, any areas you paint over with black will disappear.<\/p>\n<p>Here's my image after painting along the top and bottom of the  waterfall  to remove the blur from those areas:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/image-mask.jpg\" alt=\"The image after cleaning up the unwanted blur areas.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after cleaning up the areas around the  waterfall  by painting with black on the layer mask.<\/div>\n<p>In most cases, you could stop here and your effect would be complete, but in my case, there's a bit of a problem. The water is rushing so quickly and powerfully over the edge that it's not falling straight down. It's actually falling on a bit of a curve. We can't create curved blurs with the Motion Blur filter, but if you're using Photoshop CS2 or later, we can still add a curve quite easily, which I'll do next.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Step 6:<\/span> Use The Warp Tool To Curve The Blur Effect If Needed<\/h4>\n<p>In Photoshop CS2, Adobe introduced us to the <strong>Warp tool<\/strong>, which as the name implies allows us to easily warp and distort images. I'm going to use it to give my blur effect a bit of a curve so it more closely follows the path of the water as it rushes over the edge of the cliff. To do that, with my  waterfall  layer still selected in the Layers panel, I'll go up to the <strong>Edit <\/strong>menu at the top of the screen, then I'll choose <strong>Transform<\/strong>, and then <strong>Warp<\/strong>. A grid appears over my  waterfall,  with a hollow square (called a \"corner point\") in each corner and a handle sticking out from either end of the corner points:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/warp-grid.jpg\" alt=\"The waterfall now with a warp grid over it.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Edit &gt; Transform &gt; Warp to bring up the Warp grid around the  waterfall.<\/div>\n<p>To create a bit of a curve in my blurring effect, I'm first going to click on the handle that's extending out below the top left corner point and drag it down and to the right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/drag-handle.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging one of the top left handles to create a curve in the blur effect.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Drag any of the handles to create curves in the blur effect as needed.<\/div>\n<p>That adds a slight curve to the left side. To add a curve to the right side as well, I'll just click inside the right middle grid section and drag towards the right. You can see the vertical grid lines bending as I drag:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/drag-right-middle.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the right middle grid section towards the right.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the right middle grid section towards the right to add a curve to the blur effect on the right side of the  waterfall.<\/div>\n<p>My blur effect how has a curve to it, but after creating the curve, the left edge of my blur effect no longer reaches the left edge of the  waterfall  itself. It's been pushed in a bit too far to the right. To compensate for that, all I need to do is click my mouse anywhere inside the left middle grid section and drag back towards the left until the edge of my blur reaches the edge of the waterfall once again:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/drag-section.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the left middle grid section towards the left.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging inside the left middle grid section to distort the blur effect until it's once again touching the left edge of the waterfall.<\/div>\n<p>The warp grid takes a bit of practice before you'll really get the hang of it, but it can be lots of fun to play around with so don't be afraid to give it a try. If you make a mistake, simply press <strong>Ctrl+Z<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+Z<\/strong> (Mac) to undo the warp and try again.<\/p>\n<p>When you're happy with the curve and your warp grid, press <strong>Enter<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Return<\/strong> (Mac) to accept it and apply the warp, and you're done! Here is my finished  \"silky smooth waterfall\"  effect after adding a bit of a curve to the blur using the Warp tool:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/waterfalls\/final-result.jpg\" alt=\"The final result.\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final result.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
