Text Reflection -
You can easily make text look
reflective. First, create some text (example
1). Then, create a duplicate layer, use
'Image | Rotate' to flip the image (example
2). Use the move tool to line it up to the
bottom of your text.
To give it
a watery feel, use the magic wand tool to select
the inverted text, then the lasso tool to make
the selection active. Select the flood fill
tool, set the opacity to 38 and click on the
reversed text. Then use 'Effects | Texture
Effects | Texture' and use number 11, then ad a
gaussian blur to get example 3:
You can
stop there if you like the effect or use
'Effects | Artistic Effects | Contours' with the
color set to white, width=2, opacity=50,
luminance=139, blur=35, detail=15 and
intensity=100 for the example below.
Experiment
with the different effects and settings to get a
look you really like. Have Fun!
