Step 3
Drag and drop the water texture on top of your image to create a new layer. Then use the Free Transform Tool (Control-T) to resize the layer to fit on top of the reflection layer.
Step 4
Blur the water texture as well by going to the top menu bar and selecting Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Select a suitable radius value of around 2 to 5 and click OK.
Step 5
In the Layers panel, select Overlay from the dropdown menu to change the blend mode of the layer.
Step 6
The Overlay blend mode will allow us to see through the water texture layer into the image below.
Step 7
In the Layers panel, set the Opacity of the water texture layer to 50% to reduce the contrast.
