Ok, this is a super quick and super easy photoshop effect. Its so quick and easy, I don't even need to post any screenshots to help you out.


1. Open Image
2. Duplicate Image
3. Guassian Blur the image at a radius of 2, and change its opacity to 70%
4. Duplicate original again and drag it to the top of the layers
5. Motion Blur it at 0 degrees at a distance of 20.
6. Motion Blur it again at 90 degrees at a distance of 20.
7. Set the motion blurred layer to a view mode of "Lighten"

I will post some before and after photos so you can see what it does.

Would something like working on single layer have same effect;
Blur the image, and than fade the blur using fade effect adding vivid light or similar blending mode.
