ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!


I'm trying to make this image look like it is immersed under water and you are viewing it from above the surface. I need some sort of a water effect, and I can't think of anything/how to do so, nor can I really picture what I have in my mind and put it on paper. So hopefully someone good with images on SEN can make me this image and/or tell me how the achieved this, preferably in GIMP as that is what I use, though GIMP typically has a slightly inferior version of almost every photoshop filter.

also, why the hell don't we have a standardized lossless multi layered image format supported by almost every image editor yet? Fuck mng.

I order you to forgive yourself!

Using Gimp, I made this:



It's a fairly easy task. Once you can produce some fairly good looking water (Or find a good water stock), you can set it's layer to multiply (Or any mode that looks the best for you.).

For the second one, I did it the other way around, I put the water layer under the pizza layer and I set the pizza layer to multiply (Or was it soft light?).

(Looks like what you wanted?)

it's missing the water's distortion of the image, but I think I got the idea.
