my final image


I also grouped all the bubble layers together at the end and moved them to their own document and saved that separately 

Now I can apply the whole group of bubbles to a new image

The tutorial also shows you how to make a brush, so now you can use the brush on other images. Using the brush doesn't include all the reflections from the image but is still cool on its own. 
This is on a beach picture with bubbles on a separate layer and set to color dodge.
