Paint Net

So, for Paint Net[www.getpaint.net] you will need Alpha Cutter [forums.getpaint.net].

For the first thing, you need to use Alpha Cutter, so you need to go to Effects -> Object -> TR's Alpha Cutter
Let's present controls:
- left click adds a new point; you can use it as well to move points.
- escape deselects the control point.
- delete to delete the point.
- scroll to zoom in and out.
- right click to move the perspective.
Now just use the controls to outline the object you want to "keep" in motion (truck and trailer in my example)

and press ok.
Now use magic wand tool and select all things on the object (click control + shift on all kind of colours on the object, f.e. I clicked on white Scania logo, then on red truck cabin).
After every step, now it should look like this:
Now just copy it (control + C) and paste (control + V) it to the original image (don't forget to make a new layer). Check below how to add new layer.
Now select the background layer.
Go to effects -> blur -> motion blur and use it, I recommend values between 5 and 10 points. Press ok.
Here's the effect, now just combine the layers of the image:
It's ready, just save it as you want.

Photoshop

Photoshop should be much easier, as it has easier tools to work with.

You can use quick selection tool

**Skip this part if you decide to use quick selection tool **
_______________________________________
Or you can use polygonal lasso tool :

It requires much more clicking but it's more precise:

That's the outcome if you used the polygonal lasso.

_______________________________________

Quick selection tool tutorial continuation
If you decided to use quick selection tool, then you just need to select your object with it (quick selection tool):

Use smaller values to be more precise (arrow)
Now just copy (control + C) and paste (control + V)
Now you got 2 layers, just select background and go to Filters -> Blur -> Motion blur
I recommend using 5 points in Angle. If that's okay, then press ok.
Now just right click on the background layer and press Flatten the image. Now your picture is ready!

Here's the result:

The end

The whole tutorial was made by me, hope you liked it.
