Jack,
I’m not sure there is any standard way to do things in Photoshop…it seems rather that there are typically at least 3 or 4 ways to achieve a goal, none necessarily better than another and each approach perhaps feeling more intuitive to different folks.
It seems to me that a "wet" effect is often something provided by various 3rd party plug-ins for Photoshop. This isn’t something I have ever tried to achieve but thoughts that come to mind are giving surfaces more of a gloss or shine than might be normal. Adding water droplets would be another. I guess it just depends upon just how wet a look you’re aiming for. You might try a search on the web for "water droplet" and "wet look" tutorials to see if you can find anything. Another thing is to explore what can be done with the wet edges option for the paintbrush.
On the other hand, if you want a submerged look, something like the Flaming Pear Flood filter might work…but I’m guessing that is far more extreme than what you are after. <http://www.flamingpear.com/flood.html>
Sorry I can’t be of more help, but surely others will chime in here.
Regards,
Daryl
