Step 40
Create a new layer and with the round soft brush paint with a dark blue some squiggly lines where the water waves meet the underwater texture to create some dynamism. After that paint other squiggly lines over the blue ones but this time use white.

Step 41
Now it’s time to populate the underwater with some objects. Open the “Plant” file and copy all. Go back to our document and paste. Convert the layer into a smart object and place it somewhere on the bottom of the water. Lower the opacity to 5%. Do the same for all the following objects by opening these various files: Fish, Diver, Shark. Vary the opacities between 10% and 20%.

Step 42
Open the file “Boat”. Select all and copy/paste in our scene. Place the boat on the surface of the water and use a layer mask to hide a little portion of the bottom.

Step 43
Create a new Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer and lower the saturation to -46. Hold the Alt key and click between the hue and the boat layer. This will clip the hue layer to the boat layer – what it means in layman terms is that that the hue layer effects will be applied only to the boat.

Step 44
Create a Curves Adjustment Layer and drag the black slider to the right to increase the contrast. Clip this layer to the boat layer (Alt-click between the curves and the hue saturation layer).

Step 45
Create a new layer and clip it to the curves layer below. Change the blending mode to Overlay and lower the opacity to 73%. Use the standard round soft brush at 10% Opacity to paint some highlights on the boat as indicated below.

Step 46
Create a new layer and select the standard chalk brush. Lower the size to 2px and the opacity to 30%. Paint some squiggly lines where the boat meets the surface of the water to simulate waves crushing into the boat.

Step 47
Open the file “Fisherman”. Use the Pen Tool to make a selection of the fisherman and his fishing road. Copy/paste the fisherman in our scene and place him in the boat near the front. Use a layer mask if you need to hide his legs and don’t forget to convert the fisherman before resizing to a smart object.
