Pixelbuddha - Focus Blur Photo Effect for Photoshop

Pixelbuddha – Focus Blur Photo Effect for Photoshop is a professionally crafted visual effect designed to bring cinematic atmosphere and artistic depth to your photos. Built for creative professionals and visual storytellers, this effect combines motion-inspired radial blur with warm, film-style color grading to produce a tactile, emotionally resonant result.

The effect is delivered in a high-resolution PSD file that features Smart Object support, allowing you to quickly replace the placeholder with your own image. The included gradient overlays and saturation lens treatment replicate the dreamy softness of vintage film lenses, resulting in a nostalgic and visually compelling look.

What sets this photo effect apart is its ability to draw the viewer's attention directly to the subject. The radial blur technique creates smooth motion trails while preserving clarity in the focal area—typically the face—making it perfect for designs that require bold type, layered elements, or editorial aesthetics.

This Photoshop-exclusive effect is highly versatile and suited for a wide range of creative applications, including:

Portrait photography

Fashion lookbooks and editorial spreads

Music album covers and video stills

Poster and flyer designs

Social media promotions and content creation

The color grading is built-in, ensuring consistent warmth and mood across different images, which is essential for maintaining a cohesive design language in multi-image layouts or branding materials.

Whether you're working on personal art projects or professional visual content, the Focus Blur Photo Effect by Pixelbuddha helps elevate your images with a polished, high-end finish reminiscent of analog photography.

Note: This effect is compatible only with Adobe Photoshop.
