Ghosting on photoshop

[hollyuk]

Hi,

Me again!
Can anyone tell me if there is a facility on Photoshop where you can isolate an area and add a ghosting effect? I want to isolate a leg on a figure and ghost it so it looks like it is moving. I have tried motion blur which is great but I now want to try this.

Many Thanks.

You should be able to select the area with the selection tool and then create a ghosting effect with one of the filters like gaussian blur. Remember to flatten the image afterwards.
