The best photoshop tutorial I think is Photoshop Manual itself. :)

I back that, IMO first learn all tools and then check tutorials don't just start with tutorials that is really waste of time..

first learn basic(tools,ui) and then look for particular tutorial you want not just any random tutorial

does your GPU support openGL?

Go to photoshop preference(ctrl+K) --> go performance tabs(left side of window)-->see if you GPU is Detected and openGL is active --> If it is active then go to advance settings and then select basic and then go up by testing each of three which is stable.. , If not then active it(by clicking on check box)

you did not check the tutorial(not video)there first it tells you to create displacement map..

Mistake in your image...

you have blurred little more then enough, no ripples at all..

Most Importantly your lighting is wrong..

that displacement map is water texture in that tut..

Easy way to add texture is in that video..

Ok,i got it.
But i had seen a manipulated photo.In that a person had made a small river.(Which you can make through this way).He used textures


Is there a way to increase the performance of photoshop :|

with 4GB ram phenom x4 you should not face any problem.. are you using and GPU.. what performance lag are experiencing?

Page file is like virtual memory (RAM), calculated data is transferred to Hard-disk and Ram is freed for more calculations.. To improve performance

Are you using and GPU?

How much Hard-disk space do you have on your primary partition?

did you face any lag with this simple low quality Image?

try to make a wallpaper out of it.. go with AR of 16:9 like 1280 x720 1600x900

then you can add stars, galaxy next to it.

also create little depth of field.
