Cool zoom blur
Though not an, essential the zoom blur effect is commonly used these days to bring complete attention to the subject of the picture. While in most cases the effect looks pretty trippy, it does work well in shots where the subject is running/moving towards the camera. It's a pretty easy effect to master too.
We take a simple image of this little girl playing in the park, and open it in Photoshop.
As in the Motion blur tutorial, you click on the little square to the left of "Open" in the History window, to mark the source for your history brush.
Now go to "Filter | Blur |Radial Blur".
