Photoshop is often used to solve problems in shooting, but in this tutorial you will see that it can also be used to release our creative inspirations, such as improving the content and composition of macro photography.

Theoretically, we should have a good camera and then adjust the position of the flowers in the background, so that the reflection is full of water. In order to make the effect more ideal, even wait until the other water droplets condense more. But in fact, we can use Photoshop to combine these elements faster and more efficiently.
