[TUT] Simple reflections. (hopefully this will make things clear now) - Raain - Dec 30, 2010
Well i just made this tutorial, cause i noticed alot of the previous ones weren't that clear, or not done the way it should have been done.
So here's mine:

Again a bit about the smart object, when using this it will save your blending effects on that layer into some sort of 'file' which will allways be accessible and editable later on, even if u had blurred it out.
For example, u have a red text and want to turn it blue this will still be possible without redoing the whole thing if u were to rasterize it.
Also i prefer a smart object above rasterizing as when u use a gradient effect, no matter which way u transform your text (if u were to flip it) the gradient will follow the same way, and not stay in the same position as it was originally.
I hope this was easy to read :)

Really nice, thanks alot. Helped me, I didn't know I have to put that smart object o_O
I tried to do a quick one, but the reflection isn't great, i used the gradient tool but didnt work?

Well, u don't have to use a smart object, u can also rasterize it.
The reason i use a smart object is so it saves the text file (with effects) into a seperate file, which u can ALLWAYS edit when needed to.
So if u have blurred the smart object (with the text) and u were to change the color of the text in the smart object, it would also change the color of the blur.
I also tend to use a gradient overlay on my text as an added effect, and without either rasterizing or turning it into a smart object, the gradient wouldnt turn upside down when flipping the text.
