Step 4

Create a Color Balance adjustment layer to make the fish's color fit the background.

Step 5

Make a new layer, change the mode to Overlay 100%, and fill with 50% gray.

Activate the Dodge and Burn Tool (O) with Midtones Range, Exposure about 10-20% to refine some light and shadow on the fish. You can see how I did it with Normal mode and the result with Overlay mode.

3. How to Make the Frozen Effect

Step 1

Place ice texture 1 over the fish and change this layer mode to Soft Light 100%.

Use a layer mask to remove the part outside the fish.

Step 2

Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to desaturate the effect's color.

Step 3

Use a Curves adjustment layer to increase the contrast of the effect.

Step 4

Add ice texture 2 using the same method.

Step 5

Place ice texture 3 onto the fish and change the mode to Overlay 100%. Apply a layer mask to clean any unwanted parts outside the fish.
