Imagine a situation where some wind blowing effect has to be given for the picture. In such a case, we can always apply motion blur effects to the picture.

	To do this, open the image file and select a portion of the image.
	Select the Motion Blur under Blur option of the Filter menu.
	In the Motion Blur dialog box that appears, vary the Angle field to specify the angle of motion by rotating the line inside the circle that appears next to the field.
	Change the Distance field, which is in pixels, if required. This is set in order to scatter the motion effects across the distance specified by the field.
	Click OK to observe the effect.

The image after effect appears as shown.
