Remember it’s always    best to experiment and try new places to put them in!  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/6-20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Now all we need to do is repeat the placement and isolation   techniques  with a few more fish. I have placed links to all the rest of   the clown  fish stocks I used in the piece and put them below. Just  keep  in mind  that not all of your fish have to be the same size or  color, and  try  and vary there placement we really aren’t trying to get  a school of   fish; just a few swimming here and there.  Clown fish links:   <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/226752" target="_blank">http://www.sxc.hu/photo/226752</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/226751" target="_blank">http://www.sxc.hu/photo/226751</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/Clown_Fish_Swimming.jpg" target="_blank">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/Clown_Fish_Swimming.jpg</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://media.bigoo.ws/content/layout/animal/animal_118.jpg" target="_blank">http://media.bigoo.ws/content/layout/animal/animal_118.jpg</a></li> </ul>    Once you have placed a few more fishes your image should look    something like mine below, but its doubtful that it will look identical    and that’s ok. Just make sure your image is something you’re happy   with!  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/6-21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Step 7: Starfish   We will be placing two starfish in this piece and they will be placed    directly on top of the phone. We are trying to give the look as if the    starfish are clinging to the sides of the phone.  So to start off we will go back to Sxc again and grab this starfish    <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/204970" target="_blank">http://www.sxc.hu/photo/204970</a> and paste him into our document.  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Once our starfish is in the document we will begin isolating him out    the same way we have isolated our fish. So press ‘W’ on the keyboard to    enable the magic wand tool; with the magic wand tool select all the    white as well as all the grey shadow areas around our starfish.  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/7-2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Now that we have our selection we can press ‘DEL’ on our keyboard to    remove it all. Now we need to free transform the starfish as well as    place him. We can start this by going to the drop down menu entitled    ‘Edit’ and selecting ‘Transform’>’Flip horizontal’. Once he has been    flipped we can free transform him down to his appropriate size. To do    this we will press ‘CTRL SHIFT T’ on the keyboard to enable the free    transform tool once again. Once the free transform tool has been  enabled   set your settings the same way I have in the below screen  shot.  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/7-3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Once he has been knocked down to a reasonable size we can press ‘CTRL    SHIFT L’ on the keyboard to auto level him; we can then press ‘V’ on    the keyboard to enable the move tool. With the move tool enabled we  will   move him to the lower left corner of the phone so it appears as  if he   is sliding off the edge as I have done in the below screen shot.  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/7-4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Now we can create a new layer beneath the starfish and paint some    streaks with our mouse. To do this we will press ‘CTRL SHIFT N’ on the    keyboard to create a new layer. Once the new layer is created we can    press ‘B’ on the keyboard to enable the brush tool; with the brush tool    selected we can right click on the screen and select the standard 3px    brush.  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/7-5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Now just paint some curvy white lines coming off of the starfish. Be    careful when doing this not to make them too straight or too long. My    result came out looking like the below screenshot.  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/7-6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Now we can repeat this process with this stock image <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/204974" target="_blank">http://www.sxc.hu/photo/204974</a>  I choose to place this starfish on the top right underneath the water splash, but you can put him where ever you like.  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/7-7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Step 8: Were done!   Well now we are done! There are a few more things you could do such as:   <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Add more fish or different kinds of fish.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Add new splashes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Add small details.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Add more light with the dodge tool.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Keep it as is.</li> </ul>    It’s up to you! I choose to the standard 3px hard brush to paint some    small extra reflections like in the below screenshot but that was  just   something I wanted to do, you can experiment all you want as long  as it   looks good to you!  <img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  I finalized the piece by merging all of the visible layers (‘CTRL    SHIFT E’), applying the sharpen filter twice, sizing it down to 800*1200    and reapplying a 3rd and final sharpen filter. My end result came out    looking like the below screenshot.  Hopefully you came out with a result you liked and learned a thing or    two along the way. Remember to experiment as much as possible, there’s    no right or wrong way to do anything, just so long as you like the  final   outcome.  <a href="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/Final.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://design.creativefan.com/files/2010/03/Final-500x760.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
