Need for speed

[syntagm]

Which plug will best allow me to create apparent speed or movement for otherwise still-standing objects/people in an important JPEG e.g. a hurdler (athletics) going over a standard hurdle?

I don't know about plugins ... playing around with a fractal fill plus transparency plus feathering or fading may get the result you need.

Well, in a .jpeg, I'd use motion blur.

But Intbel's suggestion will work better if you are using Xara. The kind of editing requied for motion blur to work would be a pixel editor like Photoshop.

Clever use of the tools, however. Have to use that one soon.

This plugin may provide some motion blur. Probably need to run it in standalone mode. I haven't had any success in Extreme. Rich

Thank you for the replies
Motion blur is the right turn of phrase

This is what I am after (example courtesy of Toyota Racing)

That is too much blur - totally disguises the object - could be anything.

Sort of there... needs refinement

The image from the Panasonic site doesn't look like it was done with a plug-in. It looks like a lot of work using the smudge tool in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro on the bottom part of the image and the upper part was done using the image of the car as a Tube and smeared.

There is a perfectly good motion blur plugin in AVBros Puzzle Pro 2.0
right under my nose................./c

Well, I guess it will take some practice to get it looking realistic. But how are you suppoed to achieve this without that plug-in? I haven't got it...
