okay this is the way i think i'm gonna make it work so i'm introducing like this light sky color background and the black head are the two things that are underwater behind the reflection and so far while i was painting the water itself i only painted reflection so this applied semi transparently will pretty much work as you know dirty water lit by the skylight only not semi-transparently i would make it lighter color or something or darker color no lighter color yeah yeah that that's the right vibe but let's keep going a lot of the times lately when i'm working with a layer and right now i have just this layer painted the color but now i want to sort of grab in between of that color and paint the semi-transparent version of it to blend it around and it's not gonna work because it's a semi-transparent layer and other colors will mix in so what i usually do is i control click on the thumbnail get the perfect selection of whatever i painted exactly the transparency of the whole layer and then create a mask like that and then i go back and grab the initial color of what i've been painting with in this layer and then i use a gradient to fill the whole layer like that so now all the detail is painted in the mask and what i'm gonna do i'm gonna be just grabbing that mask colors and in photoshop which is something i i learned that other apps don't actually do it this way but in photoshop no matter what kind of mode you have for your eyedropper in the mask when you're here you're grabbing colors only of the masks so you can easily blend around the transparency of this layer so this is a pretty unique approach to be able to eye drop and blend around the transparency that's pretty dope i think like that so obviously the color of lit up water like lit up ambience of the water like the dirt in the water slightly lit up by the skylight it definitely should be darker than this reflection of the sky on top of the water because before that it was like dominating over the reflection that was wrong so i'm making sure that it's like letting go of that and somewhere around here we're getting that that effect so it would look like that at NUMBER_TOKEN percent opacity but i'm gonna tone that down for sure who i wonder if this is gonna look any good like so far it makes me happy because it looks the way i feel in general like the place and the situation is just right i think
