Description IMPORTANT NOTE: Some people seem to have a hard time seeing the tutorial. For that I recomand that you use the "Download" button on the left. It seems to solve the problem

Thiese tutorials have been very popular; seems to get a collection or favorite almost everyday. So you will have to forgive me for not thanking you propperly.

Do feel free to to tell me (and link if it's on Devaintart) about any pictures you used this tutorial for so that I can see the result of it.

Also do feel free to point out if there's something you don't understand and I'll try to help.

Now I'm sure there are way better ways to make some good looking water (sea) but this is one methode that have worked for me so far.

Warran In reply to Khavarum [2011-08-10 10:23:54 +0000 UTC]

I've never used Gimp, so sadly even if I did get it it would take me a while to learn how to use that program. Have you tried looking for a tutorial on youtube? I can see a few gimp water tutorials there, but I don't know if any of them work the way you want

Warran In reply to BlueStoneSapphire [2009-10-14 13:51:37 +0000 UTC]

well it should be on the left side of the picture. If not then I'm afraid that the only explanation I have is that your computer is acting up... I'm no good with computers so I'm not sure if I can help you there...

Zaravell1414 [2009-10-12 01:13:23 +0000 UTC]

I got stuck on step 4...is it free transform or transform selection..or does it matter which one? ( sorry, i just got photoshop so im still trying to figure everything out)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Warran In reply to Zaravell1414 [2009-10-12 08:06:26 +0000 UTC]

Free Transform. With that you transform whatever is inside the area you've seleced and on your current layer. With Transform Selection you just transform the selection area it self
