Create a vivid underwater ‘light bubbles’ effect using Photoshop

In this screencast I’ll be showing you how to create this vivid underwater ‘light bubbles’ effect using Photoshop. This will include blending colours using hue and saturation and creating a custom brush.

I really like this as not one outcome is the same because we’re using a very random brush and your own imagination for the colours and shapes.

Make sure to view the video in full screen mode, you’ll get a nice shiny 1280×800 view. Also, remeber to turn HD on as it is available!

    Thanks, thats a great tutorial I managed to complete this even though it was the first time I’d ever used photoshop. But, When I was putting the bubble things down the brush was not giving a vivid circle like yours was, it was slightly transparent and I checked the settings over and over but couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do. But it turned out fine

Excellent tutorial! Only suggestion would be to maybe bring the sound up. I really had to crank my speakers to hear it!

  Ah, sorry about that. I’ve been testing to make sure it’s loud enough. I’ve got another screencast coming soon, so hopefully it will be better.
  
  Thanks!

This looks like the ”Ballad of Gay Tony” logo. Good job!
