   In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a splash text effect in Photoshop. Knowledge point: the use of brushes.

6. Create a new file in PS. The file size is 940px * 700px and the background is black. And save the name. Open the source material of the lake and use the plug-in tool. The Feather value is 40px. The area to be drawn is not necessarily completely similar and cannot be too deviated.

8. Use the mobile tool to drag the area in the selected area to the newly created text file. Rename it a water wave, and the transparency is reduced to about 60%. Use a large soft eraser tool to erase the edge so that the edge and background are completely integrated. Shows the effect:

10. Copy the water wave layer twice and move it to the left or right of the raw water layer. It also sets the feeling that the transparency is a little lower than the original one and the Creation environment is deep. It mainly focuses on the ability of the diagram or the principle of perspective.

12. Copy the water layer again, restore the transparency to 100%, and adjust the position.

    Okay! I have to admit that the level of foreign designers is superb. I have made many adjustments and made repeated attempts to achieve the effect shown in his figure.

20. Create a new layer and name it light and shade. Fill the following shape with a black and white brush:

    This is another step to omit the details. This step constantly adjusts the transparency of the brush and indirectly tests the grasp of light and shade. There is no skill in light and shade, that is, watching the light and shade of things in life. Summary, highlights, reflections, backlights, etc.

22. Create a new "Water flower", import related water flower brushes, and add them around them.

24. Use a brush to add the feeling of xishui,
