ADD REFLECTIONS TO ENTOURAGE

4 EASY STEPS:

01 | Create reflection layer.

Command: CTRL+J or duplicate layer in the layer menu. This is the layer you’ll be editing.

02 | Transform > Flip vertical.

Command: CTRL+T>Flip Vertical. Move this layer behind the object’s layer and place the reflected object where you want it in the image.

03 | Transform > Distort.

Command: CTRL+T>Distort. Use the 4 control points to adjust the reflection.

04 | Change opacity.

Layer mode > Opacity. Find a % that works with your image.

BONUS STEP:

05 | Add waves!

Filter > Distort > Wave.

Adding waves to the reflection, when the object is placed on top of a water surface, will bring more realism to your image.
