Applying a Water effect
You can use the Water effect to insert an expanse of water below the subject of a photo and to display
a reflection of the subject in the water. You can control the position of the water below the subject. For
example, you can position the water below a person's chin, or below their waist. You can also control
the appearance of ripples in the water and how dark or light the water appears. You can save your
options as a preset for use at another time.
