### Title

Afterimage

### Description

I took this photo because I thought it would be interesting to see the image shifted across the automatic door.

### Technical Detail

FUJIFILM X-T4

XF16-55mm F2.8

### What to ask for in a critique

I would like to add an analog painting-like effect to my work, like the one below.

But I don't know how to do it.

Does anyone know the specific method?

Or if I were to add more edits, what are some ideas?

Thanks for your corporation.

Hi, I would appreciate it if someone could give me some ideas. I think motion blur might be close to what I'm looking for...

Mag this is hard to work on as you have already done quite a bit of duplicate work is just not working with anythiing I try - let me show you what I mean - What I think you are looking for is in Blur Gallery called Path blur select a person or two and inverse so you can blur the background only then deselect and blend in using healing and clone tools - See attached so you can see the backdrop idea I'm talking about but because of all the double vision it's not working..

Hello Mag

Welcome back to the forum, and thank you for sharing this creative street image with us. I'm afraid I can't help you with the effect you are asking about, but Daniel has done his best. You say you are asking for ideas, and as this is a complex image based mainly on patterns, I suggest considering a black-and-whtie edit which is what I am adding below. I increased the definition quite a lot and the light a little too. I made a small crop at the top of the frame to avoid the lettering in the top right corner, a slight crop on the lower edge, and a sizeable crop on the left to simplify the image a little. I think using motion blur as well as having multiple images of people and umbrellas seems rather complicated, but you may get other suggestions to help you achieve the effect you want.

Good light, Elizabeth

Thank you. I see, it is true that if you have already processed the double, it will not work.

I agree, going black and white and reducing the elements is a good approach! Thank you!
