 Nice, but the text reflection should be a little more transparent at the bottom. brush or erase tool maybe?

Your reflection is wrong. 1st-the surface is very shiny. 2nd-anything you put on a very shiny surface does not fade. You should turn down opecity between 40 and 60% and dont use gradient mask. Different surfaces reflect differently.

Seems like you have got a point  

x3lumin8x Neil is inactive for a very long time for his medical studies , I think he's not going to edit his tutorial any sooner or even later

I suspect he only used that as an example to show you could reflect any object on any background.

Thankyou lHolmes, I've been looking for this for ages!

Very nice and practical. I go to try this   . So, here's my try   :

The quality isn't good any more   .

am kind of a noob with photoshop and had a hard time trying to do this, but i realized that my top colour was white and that was why i wasnt able to apply the gradient!!!    thznks a lot for thw tutorial

hey how does that "quick mask" works?? can you explain how can i use it??

Select the 'reflection' layer and click on the "Add layer mask" button :

With the mask selected , just stretch a white-black gradient on the layer , keeping black color at the bottom and white on top , the mask will cover the part of the layer that's colored black
