Create an underwater scene in photoshop tutorial
Filed under Photo Effects
Make a splash with an incredible underwater scene, with tips on underwater lighting in Photoshop from Fabio Sasso.
There’s another world under the waves, and in this tutorial, Fabio Sasso shows you how to recreate it convincingly. You’ll learn all sorts of ways to combine found images seamlessly, learning compositing and saturation techniques to integrate them into a backdrop that’s been created using Photoshop filters and gradients.
Sasso is skilled when it comes to tracking down and adapting images, and he shares some of his favourite sites for downloading free or donation-only brushes and images. Most importantly of all, you’ll learn to pay close attention to how light behaves and to think of your scene as a little world all of its own.
01. Create a new landscape A3 document in Photoshop at 300dpi. Fill the background layer with a gradient using colour reference #050808 for the bottom colour and #41616d for the top colour (click on the swatches at the bottom of the Tools palette to input the colour references). Next, create a new layer, fill it with black, and select Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Set the Amount to 400%, distribution to Gaussian, and ensure Monochromatic is ticked. Then select Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, setting the amount to five pixels. Rename the layer ‘Surface’.
