1, add the underwater scene step 1

Creating a new 1500 x 1263px document is set in Photoshop as follows:

Step 2

Open the underwater image. Use the Move tool (V) to drag onto a white canvas and place it in the lower half:

Step 3

Use an adjustment layer to set the clipping mask to reduce the saturation of the underwater scene. Layers > New Adjust layer > hue/saturation and decrease saturation value-79:

Step 4

Create a new color balance adjustment layer and change the midtones value to set the following figure:

Step 5

Create a new color fill layer to reduce underwater visibility and add some depth. Layers > New Fill layers > Solid colors and select a cyan color (#2e595c). Reduce opacity 50%

Step 6

Create a curve adjustment layer to darken the underwater scene section. We want the main light to come from the top left. So to add a layer mask to the adjustment layer, use the black-colored soft brush to erase the selected part of the image below. The curve is shown below:

2, add sea level step 1

Open the picture of the sea. Use the Rectangular marquee tool (M) to select the middle part of the sea:

Together with the background picture, the effect is as follows:

Step 2

Add a layer mask to the surface layer and wipe the hard edges of the surface layer with a black soft brush, as the waves move.

Step 3

Create a hue/saturation adjustment layer so that the color of the ocean surface matches the portion of the underwater part: The values are as follows:

Step 4

Then make a curve adjustment layer to increase the brightness.

3, add Sky Step 1

Open the sky image. Use the Rectangular marquee tool to select the above Sky section:

Drag the selected sky into our composite document. Flip the sky by selecting Edit > Transform > Horizontal flip. Remember to put this layer underneath the sea layer.

4, add shoes Step 1

Open the picture of the shoe and use the Magic Wand tool (W) to extract it from the background image:

Step 2

Place the shoe in the middle of the image and flip it horizontally:

Add a layer mask to the layer and use the medium, soft, and black pens to brush the middle of the shoe so it hides under the sea.

Step 3

Make a hue/saturation adjustment layer (set to a clipping mask) and drop the saturation value to-88:

Step 4

Create a photo filter adjustment layer, select a cyan blend color (#607a85) to match the shoe color to the background:

Step 5

Add a curve adjustment layer to reduce the visibility.

Add a layer mask to the curve adjustment layer and brush the upper part of the shoe with a black soft pen. The scope is as follows:

Step 6

Then create another curve to adjust the layer to increase the brightness.

Add a layer mask to the curve adjustment layer and brush the lower part of the shoe with a black soft pen. The scope is as follows:

Step 7

To make the bottom of the shoe mix better with water, create a color fill layer and select the dark Cyan Color (#2d4b54). Opacity 50%.

Add a layer mask to the color fill layer, brush the upper part of the shoe with a black soft pen, and remove the influence on the upper part of the shoe. The scope is as follows:

Step 8

Create a new layer and use a soft brush (color #9ed5da) to draw the lowest light of the shoe. Layer mode soft light, opacity 100%:

5. The cat added

Step 1

Open the image of the cat. You can use your own familiar methods to eliminate the background. If not, you can Google it yourself. PS: In order to prevent you lazy, the material I have to you to pull out, the effect is not very good, if you are a perfectionist can you dig ah.

Step 2

Use the Move tool to drag the cat into the composite document. Flip horizontally, adjust to the appropriate size and put it in the position below.

Add a layer mask and erase her hand to make her look like inside her shoe:

Step 3

Make a hue/saturation adjustment layer for the cat layer (set to the clipping mask), the values are as follows:

Step 4

Use a color balance to adjust the layer and change the settings for the midtones:

Step 5

Add a curve adjustment layer to reduce the visibility. Add a layer mask and rub the top and right head and body of the ear with a black soft brush.

Step 6

Create a new layer below the cat layer. Use a black soft brush, opacity 25%, brush the lower part of the cat's paw, draw the shadow of the cat's paw on the shoe,

6, add the bird Step 1

Select some birds to add to the sky and remember to change their size to create depth of space:

Step 2

Blur the farthest two birds. Go to filter > Blur > Gaussian blur and set radius to 2 px:

Step 3

A large bird is added to the scene of the right corner above the surface of the water. Apply a Gaussian blur of 4px.

Step 4

Select all the bird layers ctrl+g to make a group for them. Changing the group pattern for this group is normal (the default group mode is penetrating). Create a hue/saturation adjustment layer and reduce the saturation value-64:

Step 5

Add a curve to adjust the layer to increase the brightness.

To the right and lower birds. Create a new layer mask on the curve adjustment layer to eliminate the effect of the curve adjustment layer on them.

Step 6

Open the bird 2 image and add it to the scene in the upper left corner, depending on the cat's gaze to ensure its direction:

Step 7

Apply a Gaussian blur (radius of 8 pixels) to enhance the depth of the scene:

Step 8

Use a color balance adjustment layer (set to a clipping mask) to add some red-yellow:

7, add foam

Use the foam brush color for #c2cfd5, adjust the brush size spacing. Add some foam to the seafloor, F5 set the brush:

Draw random bubbles in the soles of your shoes, remembering that the brushes are less transparent and not too large to make the bubble too obvious.

8, the final adjustment step 1

Create a gradient adjustment layer color #1b243f and #f8b884. Change this layer pattern to soft light.

Step 2

Add a color balance adjustment layer to change the middle tone. The settings are as follows:

Step 3

Layer mode linear dodge and use layer masks to reduce the impact of light on the largest bird and surface areas.

Step 5

Create a new layer and change the brush color #efa67e. Draw a big bright spot in the left corner. Set this layer pattern overlay:

Step 6

Add a curve adjustment layer to illuminate the upper left corner. In this layer, create a new layer mask, wipe off the left and right side with a soft black brush, and keep them in the dark:

Step 7

Use a vibratory adjustment layer to improve the overall effect:
