Hello and welcome to “Creative Nerds.” In this Photoshop tutorial we’ll be sharing with you how you can create a underwater photo effect. It’s an effect that you can apply to almost any photo. So, let’s jump straight into it. So first thing we’ll start off by selecting a photo, which we wanna apply our effect to which we have of this young model. Then, we’re then gonna drag in our water background. So, this is a photo which we’ve downloaded from Unsplash, which we’ll leave a link to in the post, so you can also use the same image. And what we’re gonna do is duplicate that layer twice. So we’re left with two layers. We’re just gonna hide the one underneath, and we’re gonna change the first one to be hard light, and we’re gonna change down the opacity to be 70%. We’re then gonna turn back on the first original layer we’d hidden, and we’re gonna change the blend mode to be color.
And there you go. We create a great underwater photo effect, which you can apply to any photo, so, we can even drag in a additional photo underneath. If you just hide our first layer, you can see that effect has also been applied again to that photograph. So it’s a great effect that you can keep reapplying to any photograph. Hope it’s a tutorial that you’ve enjoyed. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned to “Creative Nerds” for other quick tips on how to use Photoshop.
