Step 3

On the layer “background copy” apply the next effect: Filter > Blur > Radial Blur using the settings:

Step 6

Select the layer “background copy” and delete an area using an “Airbrush Soft Round 100” (Brush Tool in the Tools Tab):

Step 7

Step 8

Choose the layer “background” and apply the radial blur effect using Filter > Blur > Radial Blur with the settings:

Step 9
