Layers- Smart Filters


A smart filter is useful compared to just applying a filter, because it adds a separate layer and allows you to go back and change it at any point, obviously as long as you save it as a photoshop file. You can also then change the filter to any other one instead of having to remove a present filter and start again. 
In this example, the wall was selected using the quick selection tool and then filters - convert for smart filters and a motion blur filter was chosen. The filter was then changed in direction so that the blur was then vertical for a different effect.
