Want to learn how to create your own word shadowing technique? Here it is in four easy steps:
1. Open a new document. (The size I used is 500×100) Now type some text, doesn’t really matter what. (I used Arial Black 36pt)
2. Now hit CTRL + A(=select all), CTRL + C(=copy) and then CTRL + V(=paste). You have now copied the layer. Move the new layer exactly above the original text layer. Hit CTRL + T(=transform) and click the right mouse button, select “flip vertical”. Now move the layer down by dragging it or using the arrow keys.
3. Hit CTRL + T again and now select “Perspective”. Move the lower right box to the right.
4. Now simply go to the layers window and lower the opacity of the “reflection layer” to whatever you want. (I used 25%)

One article is far too short to describe all the complexities of Photoshop - whole books have been written that barely scratch the surface. If you want to learn more, the best thing to do is to find some good Photoshop tutorial websites, and work from there. Here’s a selection of some of the best.

First off, there’s Adobe’s own Photoshop tips website, which you can find at adobe.com/products/tips/photoshop. The selection of tutorials here is not that wide, however, and the writing style can often be a little dry.

A good resource for basic, starter tutorials is psworkshop.net. While the site lacks more advanced material, it has quite in-depth explanations of each tool and what it can do.

Do you love photography so much but you just can’t seem to produce great looking photos? Do you want your amateur looking photos to look like it was taken by professional photographers? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you will need the Adobe Photoshop.
