Linear Motion Blur
Each pixel is smeared along a straight line, simulating movement during a long exposure. It conveys speed in racing photos and is a common post-processing effect for action shots.

- 02Smeared highlights
- 03Speed-lined sharpness loss
Why it happens
Every pixel is replaced by the average of samples along a line of chosen length and angle, equivalent to convolving with a one-dimensional streak.

Image edit prompt“Apply strong horizontal linear motion blur to this image: all details smeared into long straight streaks as if the camera panned quickly, bright highlights stretching into light trails, soft color streaks, a faint sharp ghost of the subject. Keep the original subject and composition.”
