1 Select the Butterfly 4 layer, and choose Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen. The Smart Sharpen dialog
box appears. Change the Amount value to 200 percent and the Radius to 1.0 , and then click OK. A dra-
matic sharpen effect is applied; the butterfly should now show more detail.
2 In the Layers panel, below the Butterfly 4 layer, there is a Smart Filter listed with a white thumbnail to
the left. Immediately below that is the Smart Sharpen filter effect. These two lines were automatically
added when you applied the filter. You will now examine how they work.
3 Click the Visibility icon ( ) next to the Smart Sharpen filter effect. This turns the Smart Sharpen filter
off and allows you to view the original image. Click in the now-empty space to toggle the filter back
on.
Clicking the Visibility icon toggles a filter effect on and off.
You will now add a Blur filter in addition to the Smart Sharpen filter.
4 Choose Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. You might have to click and drag the Motion Blur dialogue box
down and to the left to see the image. In the Motion Blur window, type 50 in the Distance text field.
This creates a blur of 50 pixels in both directions. Now you will change the angle of the blur.
5 Click the right side of the angle dial, and then click and drag counter-clockwise until the angle value is
approximately -65 degrees, and then click OK. Don't worry about how the effect looks; you will be
editing it shortly. The Motion Blur effect is now above the Smart Sharpen effect.
