How to get circular ripples on pond effect in Photo


Recommended Posts

There is a simple ripple filter (but affects the whole image) under ...

  • Layer ▸ New Live Filter Layer ▸ Ripple Filter

... click anywhere on an image to set its center. - In order to get multiple smaller circular ripples, create some in own smaller water documents and take those over then (copy & blending).

Or use some free vector defined ones you can place/size/perspective skew... etc. the way you need them as layers into your image.

You can try placing and blending over some gray/transparent based circular ripples, ideally as vectors so you can duplicate and rescale those to your needs. You can also build your own ones, just use some grouped layers of circular gradients with several color points, make them slightly transparent or the like, copy/paste/resize/change their perspective and used colors to your image needs. - So maybe something like that here (all curve gradients)...

Or try out to resemble/recreate this PS based way here in Affinity Photo ...

You can also get quite good results with transparent PNG circle ripple images, just adjust their size and color (recolor) and remove unwanted areas/portions with the eraser tool.
