Text ReflectionThis is how my text reflection looks:![]() Step 1: Make a fairly large image document, this is because you need room to reflect the text. Step 2: Have all of your text effects on your image. Write out your site name (or whatever you make be reflecting) and go to Layer >> Layer Style >> Blending Options and choose all of your settings. For this I used Drop Shadow, Gradient Overlay, Pattern Overlay and Stroke (See my Simple Support Code Image Tutorial for some ideas on how to do all of those). Step 3: Go to Layer >> Merge Visible. Step 4: Duplicate the layer after merging it. Step 5: After duplicating it, you have to flip the image, so go to Edit >> Flip Vertical. Line up the texts and make sure the duplicated layer is completely under the first layer, but still lining up the same. Step 6: Now change the layer to Overlay and the Opacity to 50%. Step 7: Make sure if your layer is a text layer, raster it so you can actually work with it. Step 8: Now use the eraser tool and make it the size of the text you have. Go over the bottom of the second layer's text, only erasing a small bit of the bottom text. Step 9: Leave the background transparent and do not flatten the image or you will only be able to put your text on a white page for it to look alright. Save it as a .png for the transparency to stay the same, that way you could put the image on any color background and it will show up behind the image as well. |
