Create a new layer (through it's respective button) and chose the Gradient Tool at these settings : Hold Shift and drag your Gradient Tool from the left side of your document to the right making a simple Gradient. Now go to Filter-> Distort-> Twirl and set it to max settings : Now hit Ctrl +F twice to re-apply the effect to your Gradient. You should have something like this : Now go to Filter-> Artistic-> Plastic Wrap and apply these settings : Go to Filter-> Distort-> Zigzag and apply these settings : Now go to Filter-> Distort-> Polar Coordinates and check off the "Polar to Rectangular" option : Go to Filter-> Blur-> Gaussian Blur (you can apply what you like, but i did 2px for this tut) Filter-> Render-> Lighting Effects at these settings: and viola! Sun-set Ocean waves. v-(read please)-v My comments: As most things the effect is completely user based. If you want different waves than what i have here alter the settings on the Twirl or Gradient or Zigzag to get the effect you want. Final Result Final Result after a few hours of boredum...
