ThanksThe Wind FilterThe Wind filter creates a neat directional blur that looks, strangely enough, like wind. You can control the direction and the amount of windin the dialog box (see Figure 16.20). This is a great filter for creating the illusion of movement and for applying to type. It works best whenapplied to a selected area rather than to the entire picture.Figure 16.20. The Wind filter and its dialog box.One of this book's editors adds, "My favorite Wind filter effect is making a brushed metal look by adding noise to the basic metal color andthen hitting it with wind from both directions, followed by a bit of tweaking for the perfect illusion." Thanks, Jon!The Emboss Filter
