- Open image you want to use as the base, in my case boring.jpg
- Open image you want to displace, in my case sailboat.jpg.
- Move sailboat.jpg into boring.jpg as a layer (you would do the same with your images).
- In my case I copied sailboat to a new layer and
- Again in my example, Image > Rotate > Flip Vertical and move down below the boat.
- Reduce Opacity to about 75%
- In my example my displacement map will be the water. You can copy any texture like a brick wall.
- Select texture, water in my case and copy to clipboard
- Create a New file > Blank. The default size will be the size of the image in the clipboard.
- Edit > paste or Ctrl+V
- Layer > Flatten Image
- Ctrl+Shift+U to desaturate as your displacement map is monochrome
- Save as displace.psd. File must be a psd file.
- Make image to be displaced active, in my example the reflection layer
- Filter > Distort > Displace
- H – 20,V – 0,Tile and Wrap around is not applicable
- In box choose the displace.psd file
