But here are some step by step instructions on how to create 3 examples of water 'textures'. A simple preset filter: Draw a blue rectangle -Apply the filter Shaken liquid (Filters - Overlays - Shaken liquid) A modified 3D wood filter: -Apply the filter 3D wood (Filters - Materials - 3D wood) -Open the filter editor -Simply the filter by removing the first 2 Gaussian blurs, the specular lighting, the last two composites and the blend effects -Set the frequency of the turbulence and amplify the displacement -Change the flood color to white -Increase the values of the convolution matrix corners to 5 and -5 A water filter from scratch: -Add a new filter named water -Add the turbulence effect -Set the frequency to 0,06 -Amplify the opaque parts using a color matrix -Add a composite effect to combine blue of the original with the transparent parts of the turbulence -Add a light blue color -Combine the light blue color with the blue turbulence using an arithmetic function -Set k1 to 0,48, k2 to 0,66, k3 to 0,53 and k4 to -0,39 -Add a displacement effect with a scale of 24, and using the turbulence as the displacement map -Use an offset to move the texture back to the middle -Use a composite effect, or change the general settings, to cut off the edges of the texture
