Photoshop Tutorial – Water Effect Photo Montage

I will write articles about Photoshop this year! This chapter shares how to add water effect with a girl. You will make similar photos using other elements like fire, leaves or flowers following this tutorial.
I created a tutorial video. I hope it helps you to know the process.
1. Collect Images
Images of a girl and water splash are from Fotolia, an image of water with bubble is from DiviantArt.
2. Skin

Click on a thumbnail icon of shape layer with a command key (use a control key if you are using Windows OS). Then select a layer of a girl and click on a mask icon to show her skin only.

Adjust her skin colour to blueish using Image > Adjustments > Color Balance (Command + B). Set a colour level to around -100, +20, +70.
3. Add Water Splash
4. Add a Background

Create a new layer on a water image. Set foreground colour to white and add a gradation from her face.
