Hello,

This is my second tutorial for GIMP. In this tutorial, you will learn how to add a text reflection effect. If you have any questions, please post here. I hope you enjoy and learn something from this tutorial.

Also, please give feedback!

Thanks, I just picked a random background, lol.

umm.. there is an easier way to do it, and it looks more professional, it has to do with layer masks

Hm, I see. But this is how I do it.

yea, ok but you are taking tons of extra steps, and the result is worse

What program do you use MANIAC?

gimp, same as him

hi tutorial is one of the worse for this type of text, ive seen loads better, but none the less very well alid out, its just the stuff you ahve in it,

anyway to the actual tutorial, i would advise you lower the opacity on the lower 'reflecive' layer, it adds more of a refelctive feel, as a reflection is not exacty the same cotrast as the actual thing being reflected, i also would add a tine ammount of distortion, i know your not making it reflected from water, but it adds to the feel of a normal serface reflection.

one last thing, dont ever use blue as a background for a reflective styled surface its light silver white or black... end of lol

anyway

3/5 for rating, very simple but looks nice anyway

yes, thats what i have been trying to say, this is definately not the best result yo ucan get from this
