Add reflection to a picture...

Open a new image with a nice background and a picture you want to have a reflection of.

For my tutorial I used the QuarterPounder©...

Duplicate the layer and flip the layer horizontal;

The upside-down layer must be placed under the original;

Move the upside-down layer down 'till both bottoms (original and copy) touching each other...

Lower the opacity to 35%;

Goto Layer>Add Layer Mask>Reveal All;

Grab your gradient-tool and set it to default; (black+white, lineair, normal, 100%, reverse NOT CHECKED!!!)

Move the gradient down 'till you see the bottom part of the upside-down layer disappear;

Add reflection to a picture Tutorial: Final Result
