How do I get realistic motion blur or splash effects for my product photos in AI images?

Quick Answer

To get realistic motion blur or splashes, you must generate them with the image using Nightjar. You can't just add them later. Use Nightjar's "Dynamic" styles or prompts like "water splash" or "fast motion" to bake these effects into the scene naturally.

Why Adding Effects Afterward Doesn't Work

If you try to Photoshop a splash onto a finished photo, it looks fake. The light doesn't match, and the reflections are wrong. The effect needs to be created at the same time as the rest of the image.

How to Build Effects Into Your Images

With Nightjar, you can create these effects easily:

1. Use Prompts: Upload your product and use prompts like "water splash" or "motion blur."
2. Use Styles: Pick a style like "Vibrant" or "Action" that is designed for movement.
3. Create a Custom Style: Upload examples of splash photography you like. Nightjar will learn that look and apply it to your product.

Nightjar keeps your product looking real (no distortion) while adding the drama and energy of motion around it.
