			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial I will show you an easy way to add some reflective fantasy water to an image and for a final touch I will add some fish jumping out of the water.</p>
<p><a href="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot25-large.jpg"><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot25.jpg" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>So first save this image</p>
<p><a href="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/nature-large.jpg"><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/nature.jpg" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>Next size the image down to where its about 560px wide and create a new canvas that has that same width and a height of double what it is. My canvas size is 565X848px.</p>
<p><a href="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot1-large.jpg"><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot1.jpg" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>Next duplicate your image</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot2.gif"></p>
<p>Move your newly duplicated image to the bottom of the canvas and rotate it 180 degrees.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot3.gif"></p>
<p>Then flip it horizontally</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot4.gif"></p>
<p>Create a new layer below that one</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot5.gif"></p>
<p>Hold down control on your keyboard and click on the little icon beside your duplicated layer so it creates a selection around it.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot6.gif"></p>
<p>Fill the new layer with light to mid blue color</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot7.gif"></p>
<p>Click on your screen to get rid of the selection and choose your copied layer. Then grab your gradient tool from your tools palette. Make sure its linear and pick black to transparent</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot8.gif"></p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot9.gif"></p>
<p>Add a layer mask to that layer by either clicking the little picture icon at the bottom of your layers palette or go to layer>>layer mask>>reveal all</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot10.gif"></p>
<p>Take your gradient tool and drag from the bottom up to reveal the bluish background we made.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot11.jpg"></p>
<p>Next we will make the water so create another new layer above the one we just used the gradient tool on</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot5.gif"></p>
<p>Use the control and clicking technique on the blue background to highlight around<br />
the area. </p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot13.gif"></p>
<p>Now in the new layer add clouds by going to filter>>render>>clouds</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot14.gif"></p>
<p>Now go to filter>>artistic>>plastic wrap</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot15.gif"></p>
<p>Use these settings</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot16.gif"></p>
<p>Now go to filter>>sketch>>chrome</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot17.gif"></p>
<p>Use these settings:</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot18.gif"></p>
<p>After that set the layer to overlay</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot19.gif"></p>
<p>Next select all the 3 layers of our water</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot20.gif"></p>
<p>Use control+t to transform the layers then right click on the canvas and click perspective</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot21.gif"></p>
<p>Grab the bottom right of that and drag to your right so change its perspective until you get your desired result.</p>
<p><a href="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot22-large.jpg"><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot22.jpg" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>Now to add a couple fish in the water. Grab this picture of a fish I got from<br />
<a href="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/http://www.sxc.hu/index.phtml">http://www.sxc.hu/index.phtml</a> </p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/fish.jpg"></p>
<p>Cut your fish out and place your fish in the water and size it down how you want</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot23.jpg"></p>
<p>Create a new layer, grab your brush tool and set it to scatter. Use some white and blue colors to make the fish look like its coming out of the water.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot24.jpg"></p>
<p>Add some more fish and you should be done</p>
<p><a href="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot25-large.jpg"><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/photoshoptown/fantasywater/screenshot25.jpg" border="0"></a></p>
