Through this tutorial, we will learn how to use a combination of
photoshop filters to create a realistic effect of water running from a
tap..

Let's start with a new document 500x500 pixels
Press "D" to reset your color palletes to black and white.
Create a new layer, then apply the following filter:
Filter » Render » Clouds |
 |
Apply: Filter » Blur » Gaussian Blur
Set: 6
Apply: Filter » Blur » Motion Blur
Set: Angle: 90, Distance: 80 |
 |
Now go to Image » Image Size
Set: width: 300pixels (UNTICK the "Constrain Proportions" option ) then click ok.
So now your document should be 300 width and 500 high.

 |
Next, go to Filter » Artistic » Plastic Wrap
Set: Highlight Strength: 15, Detail:10, Smoothness:10
Apply Filter » Sketch » Chrome
Set: Detail:0, Smoothness: 8 |
 |
Go to Edit » Fade Chrome
Set: Opacity:100%, Mode: Hard Light |
 |
Now go to Image » Image Size
Set: height:800 pixels, leave all other settings, and make sure the
"Constrain Proportions" is NOT checked. |
 |
Now go to Edit » Transform » Warp
Move the anchors around, inward, up and down, just play with it to shape it like running water. |
 |
Now, just add some gradient color to the background layer, and change it's water layer's blending mode to "Hard Light"
Now you can add thos water below any tap.
