Step 76
In the layer mask use the Linear Gradient Tool to limit the effect only to the upper part of the scene. This is how my layer mask looks.
Step 77
And this is how the scene looks now. One more step and we are done.
Step 79
As a final adjustment I decided to make the underwater color a little more cyan and intense so I added another Color Balance Adjustment Layer.
Step 80
…using the Linear Gradient Tool and the layer mask I limited the effect only to the lower part of the scene.
Step 81
And this is where I decided to step with my adjustments. Off course you can continue to add little details and elements to improve your image but in my case I consider the scene looks complete.

Fantastic idea. I especially like the water surface.

Either I’m blind and don’t see what happened to the “ripples” layers after Step 25 or there are steps missing. There’s no way they go from the jagged-edged difference render to smooth realistic ripples by just blending the edge in with a brush. Clearly there is more manipulation needed to make that layer looks like it does in Step 26.

What’s the point of having the already-completed project available for download? I can’t access DeviantArt and would love it if the zip file just contained the images and brushes so that I can actually DO the project. Thanks

TRYING to learn the basics, here bro.
The eye was not hidden. I know to check that much.
An explanation WHY something works is how a lot of people learn, not just me. I wasn’t complaining or blaming, just wishing there was more to it.

OK I’m ****ing sorry about that bro

I wish you could say WHY certain things are done (so I can understand when I might need to use them in the future) and so I can understand what the outcome is supposed to look like.
For instance… I don’t understand why we need a layer mask in Step 18 and why we are painting in white over the top of it…
Since it doesn’t seem to want to let me do it as stated (I get an error, “Could not use the brush tool because the target layer is hidden”), I have no idea what the outcome is supposed to be and can’t figure out how to get to the next step without just skipping Step 18.

your fault for not knowing the basics. Dont blame the tutorial bro. You can’t paint because your layer is hidden. Click on the EYE icon. Layer mask is like a mask to show\hide what is visible on the layer.
