image streeeetch effect

Hello,
As you can probably see, I'm new to this forum... And it looks real nice!

Anyways, to my point. Does anyone have a tutorial they can quickly write up, or know how to create the "stretch" effect on the left side of the woman's face (the thin stretched-out lines)?

Or, is there a filter that can achieve this effect?

Thanks in advance!

Make a up and down rectangle selection

hold down ALT and CTRL
hit the RIGHT arrow on your keyboard

Or select the entire area you want that effect in
Filter>Blur>Motion Blur

Great, thanks!

However, is there any way to delete that extra duplication in the 1st tip you posted (when you select, ctrl+alt, move right, etc.)?

"extra duplication "
I'm sorry, can you clarify?

Do you mean like if you make a 5-pixel side selection theres about 4 pixels there that aren't in the 'stretched' line?
Make a 1-pixel seletion

Hehe, yep. Just thought of that right after my "absent-minded" post. lol.

Thanks, though.

Very cool.....I have always wanted to this crazy effect...love it!!!
