I will start by thanking Cayman Diver once again for posting a great image to illustrate correction techniques for underwater images. All of the copyrights to this image belong to him. After posting my tutorial, I worked with the image some more and had a few alternative techniques I wanted to share with my Scubaboard Photoshop friends. If you have not looked at the original Cayman Diver tutorial, I suggest you review it. CLICK HERE FOR ORIGINAL TUTORIAL.
I will be building upon it here. The goal, as with the original tutorial, is to make adjustments without complicated masks. No masks were created in this tutorial. We also want to use adjustment layers instead of adjustments on layers. I killed as few pixels as possible in the creation of this tutorial.
For reference, this was Cayman Diver’s original image.
