Photoshop and Radial Blur

[dazzer21]

Is there a way (ie is there alternative software to Photoshop) that will perform a radial blur on an OVAL selection of an image WITHOUT having to stretch it into a perfect circle first? Think of making a 3/4 image of a wheel look as if it's turning.

You can always deform your image into a square first, apply radial blur and then go back to your previous rectangular shape dimensions...
