WolfX2 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 in this one i teach you how to make the "depth reflection" effectfirst make a 400*200 canvas and fill it with your favorite colorthen pick your favorite font with a color you think will look good on the background you chose and on a new layer type your favorite word(s)next, duplicate the text layer. Then go Image>Rotate>Flip Layer Vertical and move it directly under the original text layer, so its almost touchingnow, go to the rectangular marquee tool and set feather to about 4px (on the top bar)Simplify the duplicated layer and then, on the duplicated layer, select about half of the text, right click and click "select inverse" hit delete, deselect and dull the opacity of that layer to 50%and that's it!when you get good like me, you can make things like this in case your wondering, this is the specks for the last image edges=feathered 4px, twiceEffect=5px Simple pillow and 1px soft shadowBackground gloss= white fill 20% opacityBackground color=Blue shades gradientand don't be afraid to bend the rules of photoshop to work to your advantage Coming Up: Gloss-e-ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian666 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 hi wolf, i was wondering if you could tell me how to make that reflection less cutt of.i'm trying to make a bitmap for the hhdwiz.cpl of xp but when i trie this tut, it looks kind of cut of.do you know what i mean?is there a way to let it flow out or something like that?damian666 vistabmp19.bmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfX2 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 the trick is feathering, NOT distortion.Use the rectangular marquee tool and set the feather to about 10select the part of the icon you would like to make "flow out" (be dimmed) and hit delete.If you think its necessary dull the opacity of the layer to whatever you feel is best, i say about (50-40%%)now in case you'd rather not go to all that trouble i made some of my own and since were using vista icons, a vista interface would look superb!happy photoshoping :welcome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
