Motion blur via image averaging!
Download Applescripts (40kb)
I wanted to create motion blur by averaging a series of images. I found a good description of how to do so here (at the bottom), which turned out to be very easy to implement with Applescript and Photoshop. There are two versions of the script: one will average all the open documents into a single new document, and the other will average all the layers within the current document.
The second one is particularly useful: create a Quicktime movie in Cheetah3D, import it into layers with Photoshop's Video Frames to Layers (do not check Make Frame Animation), and then double-click the script. Simple!
Note: I had to have the scripts call on "Adobe Photoshop CS3" because that's what I have. You might need to change it in the first line if you have an earlier version of Photoshop (if this will work with previous versions; I haven't tried). To edit the scripts, just drag them onto Script Editor in the Applications/Applescript folder. Feel free to alter the code however works for you.
