Time an again when say, the image is dull or there is water in the image but not dramatic and plain, then we create reflection in Photoshop to make it look interesting. Instead of using complex displacement masks, we can achieve better results and create realistic ripples in Photoshop.
Making a reflection with shine makes it look authentic. In this tutorial we are going to use the background water as a reference to create the shine required. This is the the best technique till date to create realistic water reflections.
Mimicking the properties if water is not just limited to ripples. If you have ever observed a lake or any kind of still water with reflections, you would have noticed that the reflection of the object is more saturated than the object itself. It is more vibrant, i.e. has more colors. Often times, the reflection is lesser exposure than the sky, or, in simple words, darker. These properties, along with shine and ripples need to be applied in order for the water to look real.
Reflections enhance the mood of the complete scene. It adds a dramatic effect to the image. This method only works with water reflections. For other surfaces there are different techniques as the texture is unique to each.

By looking at this old video, I can totally see the progress you have made within 3 years. I thought you were perfect just like your new videos but the best thing about you which I observed is Persistence. In this video, you are finding it difficult to even deliver your statements, but my friend you're gonna end up to be the best Photoshop Guru on TH-cam after few years.

You've come a long way Unmesh.
GREAT!!!!
Sir, is it possible to select hairs using underline slider in blending option??
Good job
How do you create a reflection in a line that's not straight? As in the reflection either side of a river? It's like a triangle from the bottom left and right corners and narrows to a point in the middle. I'm finding that kind of reflection tricky. It's not accommodating the shape.
EDIT: actually I think I've figured it out lol.
I think its better to decrease opacity
you could have simply set the blending mode of the mirror layer to multiply
Unmesh....dinda. the pride of india
by using which adobe software did you transfer that image into something awsome
adobe photoshop CC
I don't think the reflection of the sunset is realistic...
The sun reflection has horizontal ripples, but the rest of the water is calm, which is not possible in real life.
I love your tutorials so much, you're the best PS channel in my opinion. I know this is your technique three years ago, and you must have mastered photoshop since then, could you be so kind and make another tutorial on this? Thank you!!
What am i to do if i am using Photoshop Cs6? Is there any alternate Blur tool for path blur.
Holy shit what's with the Hard Rock concert going on back there? Sheesh man turn it down a notch

What to do when the line of reflection is not straight?

🤣🤣🥰😎
Not everybody use a Mac!!! Please don`t forget the rest of us who use windows.. ;=) But you did a Fantastic job, Sir!! :D
MOTO
OMG the quality of your vids now compared to this!
why did you not remove the mountains from the reflection? i do not think it should be there because the reflection seen in the water is what is above it not by the side.
Just my point of view. I might be wrong
Watching 2024
Will u please make your video in hindi??
niubi
2:47 Did I just hear gunshots?????
I was scrolling down looking for others who heard it too. Those sounds plus the panicky motorists seem like too much of a coincidence right? I don’t think he’s ever said where he comes from so who knows. Might not be the most peaceful place on Earth.
Those were in fact firecrackers. It was Diwali (festival of lights) around that time in November so it's pretty common to hear these sounds.
Beta Unmesh, tomhara eyein haircut looks accha hein! Go back to this type beta!!!
Why can't I take my eyes off your brows
There was no need to remove the distractions in the water🤷♀️🤷♀️
I like his works but he talks too much.
I also think it's good that he's explaining a lot of things in details. I hate watching tutorials that only have background music.
@@emilyemslee Those aren't tutorials. They're just skill demonstrations. I rarely sit through them, especially when the music is particularly obnoxious.
I chuckled quite a bit too when you say _facebook_
