How to Add Spin Blur to an Image in Photoshop

Adding a spin blur to an image in Photoshop can create a dynamic and eye-catching effect. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the image you want to add the spin blur to in Photoshop.

2. Create a duplicate layer of the image by right-clicking on the layer in the Layers panel and selecting "Duplicate Layer."

3. With the duplicated layer selected, go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Spin Blur.

4. A circular blur control will appear over your image. Drag the center point of the control to the center of the area you want to blur.

5. Use the Blur Angle slider to adjust the direction of the spin blur. You can also adjust the blur intensity and shape using the other controls in the Spin Blur panel.

6. Once you're satisfied with the spin blur effect, click OK to apply it.

7. If you want to make further adjustments, you can use the Spin Blur tool in the toolbar on the left side of the screen to reposition the blur control or adjust the blur settings.

8. When you're done, save your image as a new file so you don't overwrite the original.
