Beautiful job, well described. Thanks!

How do you get a negative h coordinate. I get an error saying its out of the range.

Seems nice, but that effects been done quite a bit lately.

Genius. Pure genius.

smart bos

thank you very much

Well done tutorial,I love it and it was easy to fallow,thanks for making it easy! very nice tut man.

tanx a lot bro, real easy to follow and good results. again, tanx a lot

holy cannoli, i wish i had this blog’s address when i was at my old job, where my task was essentially “learn photoshop.” i failed miserably due in part to the fact that no one stopped me if i decided to just up and leave for an hour. anyway the point is. i bookmarked you.

[...] This is not a tutorial: For this one I used a small tight diagnal patter as the background floor. Instead of my usual thick ones. I used impact as the font and I gave it the used up – shiny floor effect. (shiny floor tutorial can be found here). To make the rays of light i used the polygon selection marquee tool and drew out two trangles and filled them with a gradient white to transparent. You can pick up the free psd here. [...]

Nice job!
The tip are ok while the way you draw down tutorial really rocks! Keep on the line

Great tutorial, easy to follow, clear to read and not boring as you have kept it simple and to the point. good job.

thank you very much! i’m happy to have found my new online tutorial. so easy and entertaining!

its cool…

Yeah, when i change the coordinate to -100 it wont let me do it!, PLZ HELP!

thedude352 – if that doesnt work than you are probably using an older version of photoshop -but you are not lost… you can do it another way: simply go to EDIT>TRANSFORM>FLIP VERTICAL this will do the exact same thing.

Twitter: photoshopcandy

Me too have the same problem

How do you get a negative 100% in the coordinate. I get an error saying its out of the range must be between Zero and 320% !!!???

EDIT>TRANSFORM>FLIP VERTICAL : as mentioned above this should flip the text also.

Twitter: photoshopcandy

I did do one thing. When against a dark background, I change the floor from Normal to Overlay, moved the layer to between the original and the reflection and dropped the opacity from 100% to around 30 or 33% depending on what I am going for.

By the way, this tutorial technique is going a long way to helping me when I “reboot” my portfolio website.

DUDE thats pretty awesome. its all…shiny and stuff. w00t!

Hiya, a friend of mine gave me the good tutorials website and here I am having a good old browse and loved the look of your tutorial – I’m a beginner (just had my first photoshop lesson at night school!) so I’m printing off to practice at a later date, but wanted you to know your work’s appreciated!!

you bet it’s appreciated!

lots of thanks. enjoy

Trying to do this with lower case g’s and getting alot of grief – the loop stick out above the font instead of making a nice reflection. Any suggestions?

Thank you. So simple and direct! You’re wonderful and I’ll visit this site often.

wow, for know i think i won’t buy some photshop books. thanx for this tutorial. i will see other tutorial

I’m self-taught, and had seen that effect on so many sites and never could do it via other tutorials in other programs.

This tutorial, for PhotoShop (that I’m more familiar with) was easy! I did it, first time, even with the obvious differences in my version of PS compared to what was used here.

Thanks so much!

Oh, and one more thing … it’s editable. No layer was required to be rasterized, so you can change the text, the color … everything, instead of having to go through step by step all over again with what text you want.

That’s cool!

Thank you again!

Why do you need the mask layer? That is the only part i dont understand?

You don’t really need the layer mask – you can just use a white gradient to transparent and it will give the same effect.
I got used to using a mask..
its like an eraser without really erasing anything.

A great thanks for this tutorial, can it be done with a photo too?

AWESOME!
I didnt knew the trick with the gradient in the middle to simulate the horizon! WOOOOO! I love it!!!!

I’ve only taken one class in Photoshop and I’m still so green it’s pathetic. But this tutorial is terrific and I managed to work my way through it and end up with a gorgeous header for the website I’m working on. Thank you so very much!

Great tutorial! Very clear and easy to follow. The only suggestion I have is to explain how you adjusted the text gradient for us newbies.

Awesome tutorial I really enjoyed it. I was able to get the job done.

Totally going to use this for my logo redesign.

Thank you for this tutorial, a very handy effect to know how to do!

Nice tutorial, thanks!

I don’t get it – I got as far as creating the mask but applying the gradient didn’t work – the text just stayed the same color, and the mask box in the layer area stayed white

thanks a lot …very easy to follow the steps…as good as video tutorial…thanks a lot

Note: @Jody Florian: select the background layer then apply gradient..

thanks!

thank s ton. very-very easy and useful for me. i have decide to choose this way for my site.

Thanks,

DIS WAZ DA EASIEST ONE I DID .I DID OTHER ONES AND THEY WORENT AS EASY

Cool way to handle this.

Great Tutorial, I prefer text / photo tutorials to video, it’s a lot easier to follow along with text instead of having to pause the video and hope you don’t miss a step.

I had been taking an extra 2-3 steps for the reflections on my designs, this will save me several steps and it looks better overall. Thanks!

what if the reflection dont look like that ? cause mine wont change :S

Thanks for the tips Borganic They worked

Nice tutorial. But too web 2.0eee

thanx to explain everything so clearly

Simple but very artistic. Thanks for your tutor.

I don’t understand the last step – with the gradient and the box – could someone please explain it? Nothing happens on my text.
Thanks
