Hi, I noticed that there was a few people that wanted to know how to do a reflection sig, so here's a tut for y'all, so stop PM'ing me bitches...

1.First open up your finished sig and make a new layer, im going to call mine reflection.

2. Once you have made your new layer, make sure its selected and go to Image > Apply Image... and make sure that you have your settings like this:

What this does is it merges our sig in to one layer.

3. Now that are sig is merged in to 1 layer, what we are going to do now is change the canvas size of our sig...

Go to Image > Canvas Size and make sure that your settings look like this:

Notice that Ive changed the foreground colour to the colour of the RW forum, make sure you do the same.

My sig was originally this size: 400x140 pixels but as you see ive changed the height to 280 pixels which is double the height of the sig, but DO NOT CHANGE THE WIDTH. ex. your sig is this size: 350x115, the settings you change should be these: 350x230

once everything is changed click ok and you should have something like this:

4. Now we shall go back to the reflected layer that we merged earlier, and we are going to select it and go to: Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical

now your sig should be upside down, move the upside down sig underneath the normal one, so that you have the normal one on top and the flipped one underneath it, like so:

5. In this step we are going to press "Q" on our keyboards (With the flipped layer selected) and after that, we shall select our gradient tool and use these settings:

With the gradient tool selected, we are going to make a line on the reflected part of our sig, through the middle, from BOTTOM TO TOP, I will repeat, make the line starting from the bottom of the sig to the middle. make sure that you dont make the gradient line go on to the main sig part, the line should only be on the reflection.

If done properly, your sig will now look like this:

6. Now press "Q" on your keyboard, there will be a sellection around most of your sig, but we don't want to select that part, so press Ctrl+Shift+I to invert the selection, so that it looks like this:

Now that we have this area selected, simply press the delete button on your keyboard as many times as you want, depending on how much you want the reflected effect to look. Ive pressed delete twice on mine, I prefer it like that.

And your Done!!!

End Result:

Its a nice effect....

DONT RIP

Leave Feed+REP

Post outcomes too if you liked the tut

Nice tut.. You should have waited for Sad's Tourney thoguh :P

I already knew this but Rep for helping out others and taking the time to do this. What I like to do is skew the reflection so it looks like this

Ive never done it that way before, probaly look pretty good, but you'd have to adjust the width on the canvas size I suppose

Nice Tutorial BS....Repped....Like the sig and avy kid...

yea props on teh tut, even though i knew how to do this, and i agree with alc, with the releftion slanted to an angle, it would looks better.

Oh i like your theme...

that tut was dope and so was that effect
