　　First, the brain storm:

First of all to imagine the image in mind, and then according to their own want to extract a few keywords, we can enjoy to imagine, and then according to these several key words again to scatter some other keywords, which for us to find material is a great help.

　Third, finishing the material

The pain of finding the material everyone knows, but when you determine the keyword after a lot faster, of course, this is to rely on a certain amount of luck and time, there are a lot of material sites, but to find synthetic materials, the author or prefer D station, the good news is that the website has been lifted, now can directly access OH!!!

　　Iv. setting up the background

The background generally uses the fusion way, may change the layer pattern, like "the superposition" "the soft" and so on the effect, will two pictures merge together, if feels some superfluous, creates the mask to erase can. For everyone's convenience, I have labeled each layer's name and layer pattern. The most important point: try more! Try more!

　　V. Placement of people

After setting up the background, drag the characters into the canvas, in order to fit with the whole, appropriate to the character color, the characters need to pay attention to not only in the foot to add shadow, in the top of the characters to add a reflection, in order to correspond to the surface of the ripples, through the "replacement" filter can be very good to achieve gorgeous effect.

Figure 06

First, the curve increases the brightness of the entire character, and then adds a selection of color and color balance adjustment layer, the character is slightly blue.

Figure 07

In order to make the character more layered, add a "deepen dodge" layer, there are two ways to choose one of them.

Figure 08

Copy the characters one layer and flip the compression vertically, right button the layer into intelligent object, prepare a surface ripple of PSD material, the ripple picture into PS after another save. PSD can be formatted, and then turn on the filter-twist-displacement, the value by default, determined after the selection just saved that part of the ripple. PSD, if not satisfied with the effect, double-click the Smart object to modify the value, which is also one of the benefits of smart objects.

　Six, the overall color palette

The general effect is complete, then the overall color palette. In general, the tone is to the blue, the use of curves, optional colors, color balance these common tools. Color palette varies from person to person, just like the different strokes of turnip greens, you can pull out your favorite colors.

If you want your work to be dreamy, merge all visible layers after blending, and then add filters-blur-Gaussian blur to the layer, change the layer mode to overlay or soft light as appropriate, then add the layer mask erase the extra parts, and finally reduce the opacity appropriately.
