This might work in other version, or it might not.
1) Open up a blank document, and a picture that you want to use. (it doesn't matter what picture)
2) Paste your picture ALL OVER the blank document. So that it makes a collage of that picture.
3) Go to effects>>blur>>motion blur. Set the direction on 270 and the intensity on 40 pixels.
4) Go to effects>>noise>>edge preserving smooth. Set the amount of smoothing on 30.
5) Use the Retouch tool with it on smudge, with the size as 11, the hardness as 5, the opacity as 100, the step as 26, and the density as 100.
6) Smudge your whole image using the smudge tool, making sure that you have those little "dot" things that you get during the smudging all over your image by the time you're done smudging. It ends up looking better in the long run if you do this.
7) Go to colors>>decrease color depth>>two colors. Set the Palette Component set on Grey Values, the Reduction method as Error Diffusion, and the palette weight as weighted. Click ok.
8) Go to colors>>increase color depth>>16 million colors.
9) Go to effects>>geometric effects>>pixelate. Check symmetric, and make the block width 4, and the block height 4.
10) Go to effects>>geometric effects>>wave. For the horizontal displacement, have the amplitude as 1, and the wavelength as 3. For the vertical displacement, have the amplitude as 0, and the wavelength as 1.
11) Use the Retouch tool to smudge the left and right sides of your image. Then do a bit of general smudging, but not to much. (Use the same settings for this smudging as you did in #6)
12) Go to effects>>geometric effects>>wind. Put the strength on 20, and select "from left". You can use from right, but with what we're doing, from left looks best.
13) Go to Colors>>colorize to colourise your image. Put the hue as 125, and the saturation as 66. (that's to make it look "watery". You can change the colours, of course)

And that's it! Not very hard, I hope. This isn't an official tutorial or anything, it's just something I found out how to do when I was messing about in PSP 7. It's called "Watery Effect" because Caz and I both think it makes the image look like water, if you colourise it that colour. This looks best on large images, just to let you know.
