Water Refection Technique

Recently I learned a cool Photoshop technique that I wanted to share with you all. This technique adds a realistic water reflection to any photograph and is a very easy and fun effect. This technique adds something special to pictures and also adds more options for the potential clientele.





In this Photoshop video tutorial, you should get a basic understanding on how to easily add a realistic water reflection to any photo. It's a very easy effect to create and you can add it to any photo you like, although it tends to work best with images that don't already contain water in them. In the video below, I will be using a simple filter and a displacement map to create the water ripple effect, and a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to give our water a little color. So open up your Photoshop Cs4 and follow along with my video. "Hope you enjoy"





NOTE:
This is a video made using a third party program that allowed me to convert my Powerpoint presentation into a video. There is a watermark on the video to grant the host credit, however the full presentation is done by me. The video itself shuffles through the slides fairly quick. Feel free to pause the video to follow along with it at your own pace.
