Tutorial for creating reflections in your pics

I did this pic for
CoverDoll september edition but without the reflections
because i was internet less and not skilled enough
to create the reflections. I would like to add some
reflections today, for the cat and for Elle. The
reflection of the trap is from the original photo.

B- The new layer
'reflect elle' is created and selected

C- Use the menu 'EDITION'
then 'TRANSFORM' then 'VERTICAL SYMETRY'

D- The symetry is
applied to layer 'reflect elle'.

E- Use the moving
tool to move the layer where you think the reflection
of your character should be.

F- Change the opacity
of the layer 'reflect elle' so that the reflection
is transparent enough for you. you can use the 'background'
choice just under the 'opacity' tool too.

G- Hide the layer
'reflect Elle' by clicking the eye in front of it.

H-
select the layer of your background

I- after having zoomed
the pic, select the part of the background which
must be a foreground over Elle's reflect (hidden)

J- copy/paste this
partial foreground, creating a new layer 'calque
4' in my example.

K-
click the eye in front of layer 'reflect Elle' so
that the reflect appears

L- move the layer
of the partial foreground 'calque 4' above the layer
of Elle's reflect using a drag & drop. The reflect
of the trap is now over the reflect of Elle.

M- Use the menu 'SELECTION'
then 'GET BACK the SELECTION (recuperer in french)'
of your Layer 'calque 4' foreground of the trap.
We will give a less sharpened look to the reflect.

N- use the menu 'SELECTION'
then 'CHANGE' then 'FRAME (cadre in french) to change
the selection to only the border of the selection
(i used 4 pixels as the width of the border)

O- use the menu 'FILTER'
then 'ATTENUATION (in french)' then 'GAUSSIAN BLUR'
and apply a value of # 1.4

P- For the reflection
of the cat. Do the step A to E as you did them for
the first character (Elle). Then use the menu 'EDITION'
then 'MANUAL TRANSFORMATION' to change the form
of the cat because its reflection must be more flat,
i think.

Q- Use the cursors
of the shape to change the form of your cat then
validate by 'ENTER'

R- Dont forger to
change the opactiy of the layer of the cat's reflection
like you the step F

the cat's back could
be rounded but that's enough for now ;)

Here's the finished pic you can click to view in
medium resolution at Elle's website.

Thanks for reading
