Ok, I know how to do text reflection but I have a little situation. I'm making a wallpaper with a Tux 1. I added the text CrystalXP and I made a copy of it, and flipped it upside down. When I moved it beneath the original text, this happened. I want it be be a even reflection. Any suggestions?

 

Here's the image (I cut it to keep it a surprise :wink:. Also its at a 66% Zoom range :biggrin:):

Step1: Creating the Effect.
Create a New Image using the dimension  800 x 600. Set the background color to white. Click on the Type Tool http://www.pixeldigest.com/images/typetool.PNG and write something in your work area. I typed "reflection text". Your work area should look something like the image below.

the reflection text color is : 4d9bc1

 

and the Text color is: ff9000

 

Still on the text layer press Ctrl+J to duplicate the layer, Select the  Chop Toolhttp://www.pixeldigest.com/images/choptool.PNG right click on the duplicated text and click Free Transform. With that the options below should show up on the task bar. Change the height to -100% as shown below.

Now drag the Duplicated layer under the main layer to get the effect below.

Click on the Duplicated Layer, click Blending Options and add the setting below.

When you are finished click ok, to add the setting.
