› › HOW TO

Step Nine: Create a new Solid

Color fill layer at the top of the Rock

layer stack in the Rock group, and

fill it with white (#ffffff). Change

its blending mode from Normal to

Saturation, and leave its Opacity at

100%. Create a clipping mask by

Right-clicking the layer and select-

ing Create Clipping Mask. Name

this layer “Soften Sun Reflection.”

By doing this, we soften the

“sunlight” we created in Step

Eight, creating further realism and

preventing the rock from looking

too yellow.

Step 10: Command-click (PC:

Ctrl-click) on one of the layer

mask thumbnails on any of the

rock layers to select the rock. Press

Shift-Command-I (PC: Shift-Ctrl-

I) to Inverse the selection so the

water is selected.

Step 11: Create a Solid Color fill

layer set to a blue color (#03132d)

above the Rock group. Lower the

Opacity to 50%, and change its

blending mode from Normal to

Color. Name the layer “Water.”

Step 12: Duplicate the blue

Water layer, and change the

duplicate’s color to a light blue

(#2386ad). Change its Opacity

to 10% and leave the blending

mode set to Color.

Step 13: Duplicate the light-blue

Water copy layer, change the

duplicate’s color to a grayish blue

(#a1adc5), and increase its Opacity

to 20%.
