Depth and Motion With Blur Effects PicsArt Blur effects offer a slew of options that add a touch of motion and depth of field to your photos. Here’s a photo of a motocross biker altered by four different blur effects. There is the Focal Zoom, which replicates the blur that occurs when a picture is captured mid-zoom. Motion Blur adds a sense of dynamism to your photo by recreating what happens when you capture a moving object. Then there is Radial Blur, which creates a swirling tunnel. Lastly, Smart Blur is perfect for creating a soft, out-of-focus glow for your photos. @soskha Blur effects literally put you back in the moment when you were taking your photo, when the camera was still in your hands. In a way, they let you pause time to get the focus and camera motion just right. 24| PicsArt Monthly
