Ginger Wick Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hi Damien- I'd like to achieve the faux underwater effect like this: For some reason the image got cut off a bit, but on the original image it's more obvious that there is a watery overlay. Here is a pool water image as well. I've attached my image I'd like to apply the effect to. I know the water and the girl are at different angles, but I figured that for this exercise these images will work. Thanks for any tips/help!

Damien Symonds Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Can you provide links to the page that the images are on, not to the images themselves, so that their owners get proper credit and traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Wick Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Trying again, I'm on my phone, so I'm not sure this will work. (When I tried from my computer earlier, it took me to a slideshow of images, which is why I sent the link to the single image.) http://www.seniorsbyphotojeania.com/senior-picture-ideas/sports-senior-picture-ideas it's the underwater swim one.

Ginger Wick Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 And let's use this one for the pool water sample: https://yourtodaypublications.wordpress.com/2013/06/29/keep-your-swimming-pool-water-clean-and-clear/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I was shortcutting. :-( I have a water image that I obtained legally years ago, but I couldn't find the original source info and wasn't comfortable uploading it. Thus the quick look on the fly for one. But, you're absolutely right. Here's a legal free option: https://pixabay.com/en/water-swimming-pool-bathing-travel-1018808/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Wick Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I think so, but the water ripples look a bit funny on her hair don't they? Will you share what you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Can you elaborate on your concerns about her hair? How is it different to the hair on the sample one you provided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Wick Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 It's probably a result of the thickness/position of the ripples in the water photo, but in some spots of her hair the lightness/coloration stands out a bit more. I suppose I could gently mask those areas. The spots I'm seeing are in her hair next to her right ear and the clump of hair over her right bicep.

Ginger Wick Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thank you! I need to go re-read/play with gradient maps to better understand how/when to use them. Again, thanks! Hope you had a good trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
