Easy Reflection; Make this reflection with just 7 steps!

1. First open a new document.

2. Now take your image or text, and make sure there is about twice as much room for the image AND the shadow to be visible in the graphic. I am doing both text, and an image, to show you both outcomes.


3. Select the layer you wish to add shadow to, and duplicate it.

4. Now go to Edit >> Transform >> Flip Vertical. Place the image/text right under the previous layer, like in my image.


5. Take your rectangle Marquee tool, and make a rectangular selection, about 1/2 the height of the "shadow". Make sure that "Feather" (found on the top options bar) is set to 20.


6. Now simply press Delete, until you get what you want. I also lowered the opacity of the shadow layer.


7. For an added effect, go to Edit >> Transform >> Free Transform, or press Ctrl + T. Holding the Shift + Ctrl + Alt keys, click and drag the bottom left or right handles outward.
