Underwater

A calm, dreamy underwater close-up right after jumping into the water.

About Underwater

Underwater restyles a portrait as a calm, dreamy close-up just after you have jumped into the water. The result is a still image: your face in that suspended, just-under-the-surface moment, not a scuba scene and not a clip of you swimming.

The template already chooses the underwater treatment. You do not describe the ocean, the pool, the color of the water, or how deep you are. Those are not controls on the form. The effect is a close portrait with that dreamy underwater light.

It is written for a close-up where the face is easy to see and the light on the face is decent. Sunglasses, a hat, or anything else that covers the face removes the features the portrait needs. A wide shot of a whole beach does not match the close-up this effect is built to make.

Because it is a restyle of your photo, the person in the water should be the person in the upload. It will not invent a second swimmer from a text note, and it will not turn the picture into a video of a dive.

Tips for a better result

  • Use a close-up with the face clearly visible and with decent light on the face. That is the photo this template asks for.
  • Leave the face uncovered. Sunglasses or a hat over the face work against the effect.
  • Do not rely on a distant full-body shot. The result is a close portrait, so a small face in a wide frame is a weak start.
  • You cannot set the water color or write a caption. The calm underwater look is part of the template.

FAQ

Can I choose a pool instead of the ocean?

No. Underwater does not take a prompt. The calm, just-jumped-in close-up is the effect. You only supply the photo.

Will sunglasses work?

They work against the result. The template is a face close-up, and sunglasses or a hat covering the face hide the features it needs.

Does this make an underwater video?

No. Underwater is an image effect. The result is a still close-up, not a swimming clip.
