How to Create a Beautiful Underwater Surreal Scene in Photoshop

After you change the level, your image should be like this:

The boat is not totally black. We will be adding a black with a Brush Tool (B). To start, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd +Shift + N) and activate the clipping mask to the boat layer, then activate the “Brush tool” (B) and set the following:

• Brush size: Soft round 300px
• Hardness: 0%
• Opacity: 100%
• Flow: 100%
• #: 000000

Step 35

Now, we will be adding the fisherman silhouette. Open the “Fisherman” image by joelshine-stock. Make a selection with Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) or Pen Tool (P).

Copy (Ctrl/Cmd + C) and paste (Ctrl/Cmd + V) it into our work canvas.

After you flip the “Fisherman”, hold shift and resize your image with the Transform Tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and position the fisherman like the image below.

Next, create a new adjustment layer “Levels” then activate the clipping mask to the fisherman layer. Set the following like this:

The result should be similar to this

Step 36

In this step, we will make the bait line. To start, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and activate the “Line Tool” (U).

Activate the “Line Tool” (U) and make the line like the image below. Set the color #000000.

Note: the warp effect is a little bit tricky, don’t be afraid to trying move every grid points to see the transformation. Change the line into like a “S” shape like the image below.

Step 37

Now, change the bait line layer opacity into 42%. Your image should be like this:

Now, activate the layer mask on the bait line layer and activate the “Brush tool” (B) and set the following:

• Brush size: Soft round 200px
• Hardness: 0%
• Opacity: 100%
• Flow: 100%
• #: 000000

The result should be similar to this:

Step 38

In this step, we will be adding the boat and the fisherman shadow. To start, make a new group name it “Fisherman”, then select the boat and the fisherman silhouette layers drag into the group. Now, duplicate the group and name it “Fisherman’s Shadow” (Check again in Step 22; how to make a group and duplicate it).

Activate the Transform Tool (Ctrl/Cmd +T) and position the shadow like the image below.

The result should be like this:

Step 39

Now, change the opacity of “Fisherman’s Shadow” group layer in 62%. Your image should be like this:

Now, go to the boat and fisherman shadow layer and activate the layer mask. Activate the “Brush tool” (B) and set the following:
