settings as the following:
STEP 2:
create anew layer and place it over the
other layers in the layer palette and fill it
with black as we do before in the other layer.
Also Apply the add noise filter but increase the
amount to "61" instead of "60" and then
apply the motion blur filter with the same
previous settings.
try this step 2 times but when u apply the noise
filter you must increase "1" to the amount
(i.e. the 3rd layer "62" and the 4th "63".
Now change the mode of all 4 layers to screen
and then change the fill of all layers to 60.
you should see you project like this image:

layers palette if they are invisible:
To do that :
choose Window >> Timeline
Window >> Layers.
in the animation window at the
first
frame go to the layer palette and make all layers
invisible except the basic image layer and one
layer.
After that create a new frame in the timeline. by
clicking the "Duplicate current frame" button
which is surrounded by a circle in the following
image:
