This effect filter floods your image with crystal clear water for that instant carribean ocean or tropical resort swimming pool feel. Bring in the Pina Coladas and enjoy the deluge!
Tips:
- The relief height map that determines flooded and unflooded parts can be generated from either the Hue, Saturation or Brightness of the source image. Brightness will yield the best results in most cases.
- The chosen Water Color will only show fully in the deepest (i.e. darkest) areas of the source image, whereas areas that are closer to the surface receive lighter shades of that color.
- When working with waves at small scales, use very low refraction values.
