Horizontal lines, vertical lines and gaussian blur

Hello photoshop forum!

I would very much like someone to point me in the right direction on how to remove the horizontal or vertical lines in an image. I think gaussian blur may be involved. The images need to have this kind of effect.



It's important that I can get the vertical or horizontal lines blurred our seperately.

Thanks very much.

you'll need to save each blur as a separate layer if I understand your question

Thanks for the reply.

What I'm asking is:

"How do you get the effect in the above images?"

I would like to get images that have a vertical blur, and ones that blur just the horizontal. This may be really easy to do, I'm just a little confused about how they got this particular effect.

Thanks.

played around with it for a bit it looks like motion blur on separate layers then layer mode was adjusted on top layers to darken or highlight pixels just a guess but just a few minutes of testing came up with a close resemblance

Copy the layer and create the whole the blur effect on the copy.
iDad's motion blur seems promising.

On an unedited layer above the blurred layer add a mask.
Use the gradient tool (G) set foreground to transparent and shift drag on the mask from the outside in.
