I've been using displacement maps for years, but they never looked quite right. And the absolute simplicity of adding the white background and having it as a smart object is such a great idea! It works so well! Thanks.
Another great tutorial!! This helped a great deal with understanding displacement maps. Glad to find that trick out for images with transparent backgrounds!!!!
My english is not so good, but you explain everything so simple, so even my english is good enough to understand it. Thank you sooo much for your videos!
Great idea! You could also create just a solid color (blue) and clip it to the reflection layer, instead of the blue layer above and white layer under.
Thank you once again for another great tutorial. One question if I may. When you put in a positive horizontal number the reflection shifts to the right. A negative number shifts it to the left, the bigger the number the larger the shift. Is there a way to keep it central? I tried applying the filter twice, one positive and one negative but that just got a bit messy.
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Walter Jabari thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Question, Aaron: I did not quite understand why you needed to put the white background temporarily behind the reflection. How did that help to align the displacement with the ripples? Thank you for another very helpful tutorial!
Without using the solid color layer to fill out the image to the canvas size, it seems the displacement map scales or moves to fit the bounds of the cut out image (making the displacement map smaller), instead of displacing the image as if its bounding box filled the canvas.
Omg Im probably late to the game and this is unrelated to the video but I just updated ps cc and now I have no idea where spot healing or patch tools are. Help?!?!?
The reflection is continuous. But look the original reflection is broken in original with back of ripple white and front of ripple more dense. So your reflection looks off in resp to original !!
This tutorial is about creating a reflection. Matching light levels, hue and saturation of the subject would have taken another 10-15 minutes. Besides, PHLEARN has a lot of tutorials about compositing already.
Finally some more advanced tutorial. Thanks! I would love to see more of those
Konkubent he has loads but unfortunately it’s a monthly cost

What hardware are you using for the pen? Can you recommend one?
Another well presented well explained bright tutorial. Thanks
Great Vid!
Since I shoot lots of rainy night pics and videos, this is great : )

Very nice !!!
Wow amazing thank you
Ahhhhh good technique, thanks Aaron !

i have a question, what is the difference between stretch to fit and tile? thanks you
I missed this kind of tutorial!
really cool, will have to do this on some of my image
He's LITERALLY a Photoshop GOD!!
Veryyyyyyyy thankssss
Great tutorial.. Would you get even better result by turning your displacement map layer to B/W before saving it?
Luv u dude
Great tutorial as always. One question, why is the reflection now on a bit of an angle instead of being straight up and down? Can that be fixed?

@Walter Jabari it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
@Krew Anakin No problem xD
HI, Love your work
If you take the solid color layer to a zero opacity would it still work and eliminate the need to go back and hide it?
wow thnx
Great video. But I think you should do blend if in the reflection to remove it from highlights like the mountains in the background.
genius
Great
gooooooddddddd

Thank you so much, Elephant, for taking the time to reply to my question -- I appreciate your cogent explanation!

Shazam! Crazy cool....thanks for the info Aaron. Heading out to the lake to find a big rock to toss in.
Get down from that Lake young man! 😁😋
Do it with perspective and separated feet in walking motion.
15:32 Who are you talking to?
Thank Aaron Nace
exactly I don't understand that why we use to white layer mask
Can i get this intro i love it so much ???
Maybe you just need to match the contrast more.. but overall it's a cool tutorial

Thank you Aaron Nace, always brilliant ❤

Dude what's that around your neck?
the time stone duh
The person isn't matching the picture (contrast, light and shadow)

this didnt have to be a 16minute video honestly
wow this could have been 5 minute tutorial lol
omg, what a bad and long tutorial
