I'm working on a background and it's supposed to look like that pattern you see at the bottom of a pool on a sunny day. Basically the shadows of the waves and ripples at the top.
Pretty much I'm looking to create a background similar to the background of the high school musical 2 movie poster. I'd post a link but I'm too "new". A Google image search of HSM2 should do the trick.
All I'm currently doing is doing a cloud filter, applying chrome and setting the hue/saturation to look blue then expanding, but it's not quite right.

sometimes I will get a request for pool water to be placed in a pool and i need a way to do this more efficiently than I have been doing. Can some one help me with this. I have struggled with this lately on some pictures. I have added an example. I need to add pool water to this picture thats fairly realistic if possible.
I was thinking about grabbing the luminosity of the waterfall and putting it above the replacement tiles. (Using various forms of blending.)
here are the samples and what I did. (i know the tiles are not distorted properly. I was trying to get the see through effect of the water first.)
I've never done this type of thing. (I've read about it before.) I want to make it look good since I won't be at this temp job long and I want to make a good impression. (So they will ask for me to come back later on.)
For the patio pic:
i'm not sure what to do about the shadows. I'm thinking of the same technique for the water edge. And I will be using 2 different tiles to replace the existing ones.
I want to make a fountain that has water jets that cause ripples when they hit the water. I have tried the basic reactor water and Pflow setup, as well as super spray, but neither seem to work. Is there any way to accomplish this without "faking" it by doing something creative with the water's texture?
I'm making a pool and i wanted to round the corners to make it seem more real. Is there a way to do a sort of "fillet" on the corners of the walls to make them round?
I'm an Autocad Architecture user (the 2013 student version). In Acad's Material library there are some Water materials you can choose from such as Swamp, Swimming Pool, Tropical etc, but I can't figure out how they're supposed to be used to save my life. When I check the properties of water materials, in the little preview window they are applied to a "Pool of Liquid" geometry. Am I supposed to create that sort of geometry?
I'm trying to remake a picture of the new 747 Advanced, and I cant figure out how to make a nice looking reflection.
Here is the picture I'm talking about, and the picture I'm working on. I'm not actually going to deal with the reflection untill the end, but I figured I would ask now in hopes that someone would reply before I actually get to that point lmfao.
The main things I want to reflect is the wing onto the body of the plane, and the windows onto the wing.
I really want this to look professional when it's done. I'm trying to build up my portfolio, and I want to turn this into a united airlines poster.
how do i get the reflections out of the car, and get the trees to be in the reflection, also is there anyway to give the car a realistic shadow after placing it in its new background.
how I should make the reflections for the following image.... I've allready made some reflections on it but it started to look kind of funny i think! Is it even possible to make proper reflections for this image?
Just wanted to know how I might be able to create this effect: Also if someone can give me a few tips on how I might be able to achieve the "look" of the pic as well, I'd appreciate it.
Well I have been a avid PS7 user for a long time now, mainly to do touch ups and compositions for my 3D work etc but ,ately I have been trying my hand at photo restoration and image enhacement.
I have a problem. I am trying to enhance a photo that has a reflection in it so as to try and make out the detail in the reflection.
I'm trying to make a marble ball that looks wet, thus a reflection. I can pretty much get the ball (albeit not extremely realistic) and some what of a reflection idea going on after looking at some reflection tuts, but the reflection just doesn't seem to wrap right or something, it just seems...unnatural.
I'm having a nightmare in creating a realistic reflection of the cut-out white car I have attached to this post - as if it was shot in a studio with a shiney floor. I have scoured the forums and tried distorting the picture but can't seem to get it right. I have attached another file showing an example of a disasterous attempt.
The third file I've attached is an example of what I am trying to achieve. I understand that the underside would have to be recreated to make it realistic, but that can just be black.
how this reflection was achieved? I kind of understand the layer 2( they duplicated the original, moved down and then reduced opacity) but I don't understand the process of layer 3 at all. It'll great if some give me a tutorial on how to make this reflection.
I was taking photos for my club's badges and I thought using a green screen would be useful in editing the images later. It turns out that the green reflected off the wall and highlight some or all of the outter edge of the people photographed. This is a pretty mild example, but you can see the green bleed over into the hair especially. Listed below is an example of what I mean.
Is there any adjustments that I could do to recover the image? I'm half-skilled at photoshop, knowing enough to be dangerous, but I do pretty decent work and make it look like I know what I'm doing most of the time.
trying to create reflections that end up "dissapearing" (like you can see in the attachment). i´ve tried EVERYTHING, playing around with the gradient overlay but the image always seems to dissapear either at the left or the right, not at the bottom,
I am trying to create a realistic reflection of my photoshopped car, but it never looks right, I have seen people use relections before like this and it looks amazing but I can't seem to get it right.
... And this is what my attempts look like, the front end of the reflected car is not right, and no matter how much I use the Skew/perspective or distort tools it doesn't look real.
Using CS6 on Windows 7. I've got a product photo of a product with square corners and the shot is taken on a angle so that a corner is pointed out towards you with 2 sides going away from you. I've created a copy of the layer, flipped it vertically and lowered the opacity to create a reflection. I then added a layer mask to the reflection layer and then a gradient to fade out the relection to solid white on 1 side of the product. But I need to apply a gradient to the other side of the product to fade out its reflection, but when I do this, it removes the first gradient. How can I fade out both sides of my reflection?
I am creating a chrome emblem using Photoshop's CS6's 3D tool. On the face of the surface I want a specific reflection (an image of city street with people walking, etc.). I want to be able to control this reflection by moving it around on the surface so I can control what is reflecting.
