Reflection Tutorial UP!!!

[Nicole Young]

Hey guys! I had a few requests for a reflection tutorial...so it is UP on my blog...please let me know if something doesnt make sense....

www.nicoleyoungdesigns.blogspot.com

Here is the layouts that I created using this technique:

so awesome Nicole ... will have to play with this technique! Thanks ;-)

[mcbowersox]

Before I fry my brain trying, do you know if this will work in PSE?

[omio]

This looks great, Nicole!

[happybeingamom]

Nicole,

I have a problem I am using CS4 and I do not have circle gradient only radial gradient so my mask is not working properly :help:

How do I find the circle gradient.

[stitchmich]

Very cool! I can't wait to try it :)

[happybeingamom]

Nicole,

I have a problem I am using CS4 and I do not have circle gradient only radial gradient so my mask is not working properly :help:

How do I find the circle gradient.

I painted on the mask and that helped but I want the circle gradient (where is the tantrum smilie)

[Nicole Young]

Hmmm good question about the gradient in CS4...it should still work if you use radial. Just make sure the black is set to the outside and white to the center. What is yours doing when you apply it?

[Nicole Young]

Not sure if this will work in elements. I can see if someone can convert into PSE if it doesnt work. I have never used elements, so I dont know! Sorry! Let me know if it doesnt work and I will see what I can do!

i will check it out

It gave me a ring so I just painted it away on the mask. But I would like the fluidness of the gradient.

[happybeingamom]

Nicole

How about teaching us how to do a water ripple with this technique. It would be a fantastic effect.

I want to do a LO like that.

[idtwinmom]

Oh, Cool! Now I can do that lift I mentioned today!

[sherryva]

The "wording" for the instructions would be a little different, but it does work in PSE 6- I just went step by step from nicoles tutorial not paying attention to the cs instructions, but ending each step with the same results as her and did it in pse using an adjustment layer.

Enjoyed the tutorial- looking forward to more of them.

I know I'm a newbie and may not know what I'm talking about, but in PSE, I have an angle and a reflection gradiant and like you, I wanted the circle reflection. I was able to approximate it most closely by bringing the angle or reflection gradiants in from the center and then from the bottom of the lower two corners.

[suemack]

Cool tutorial thank you!! Had a play here (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=299420&nocache=1) ..... shadow on the pukeko isn't right though. This tutorial was so much fun to play with!

I'm having trouble creating a mask, so I used a gradiant line on the photo itself. I'm confused because the gradiant is affecting ALL the layers, not just the selected photo. Any wisdom? (Sorry for the vague question. It's 1:00 AM here. I'm still awake because I am obsessive about scrapbooking. LOL.)

[LeggsRobbins]

Software: PSE.

Here's what I'm struggling with. I don't know how to make a mask in PSE, so I just applied the gradiant directly to the reflected layer. The problem, however, is that the Foreground to Transparent gradiant doesn't seem to actually make the object more TRANSPARENT as it gets closer to the edge, just more WHITE. As a result, there's a clear line of demarcation between the reflection and the background, instead of the reflection fading smoothly into the background as it does in Nicole's layouts. Does anyone have any brilliant ideas of how I can most efficiently fix this?

[idtwinmom]

I just sent you a PM with step by steps for creating and using your mask. Let me know how it works for you!

[Nicole Young]

So...guys...can you answer this for me?? What changes in the wording would I need to make to have it be applicable to PSE?? I dont know enough about that program to be helpful, but if you guys could tell me what is different, I can post the PSE instructions too! :)

[jemtred]

I am going to get to work on this and the great Storybook Dreams kit the very next time I sit at a computer outside work! But not today - now I am going to bed. There will be some amazing Los from this I great tutorial. Thanks again Nicole.

[ReneT]

I was able to make it work in PSE 6 by creating an adjustment layer where Nicole's directions say Layer>Layer Mask> Reveal All. I put the adjustment layer under the reflection photo, then putting the cursor between the adjustment layer and the photo while holding down the Alt button to connect the 2 layers in the layers pallet. Then I followed Nicole's directions from there, sitting on the adjustment layer where hers says sitting on the layer mask. In PSE 6, there is no Flood Fill tool, I don't think, just a Gradient Tool in the left-hand toolbar. Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

What kind of adjustment layer did you use? I'm seeing several options under the adjustments layer drop down menu: solid color, gradient, pattern, levels, brightness contrast, etc. I tried "solid color," but that just covered the entire photo.

*Still a newbie, and trying very hard to figure things out without asking too many stupid questions in the process.*

I used brightness/contrast.

And don't feel silly for asking questions. I'm still fairly new too and I ask plenty!

If you got it to work with PSE, you should make a tutorial of your own, cause I'm mucking this up all over the place. LOL.

First, when I clipped the masking layer to the photo layer, the photo layer was suddenly no longer visible on my layout. I figured that was fine, it would come back when I applied the gradient to the masking layer. However, when I did so, suddenly the photo was visible (completely ungradiated), and the BACKGROUND had vanished. LOL. I'm totally confused now.

I can paint a little onto the masking layer, which fuzzes up the edges and makes it look a little reflectiony, but it doesn't even come close to Nicole's effect, and plus when I reduce the opacity, instead of showing the background through the photo, it just shows the color with which I painted on the masking layer.

[idtwinmom]

LeggsRobbins:

You probably forgot to have your colors set to the Default: Black foreground, White background. Also, Make sure you do Ctrl - Click on your photo layer before making the Adjustment layer. This makes the adjustment layer the same size as your photo, not the size of the BG. Also- when you use the brush, make sure you have the Mask layer (adjustment layer) selected. Click directly on the mask in the layers palette, you will see a double line around the edge of that little box on the right of the link in that layer telling you that it is active.

Probably when you applied the gradient, the masking layer and the photo layer were no longer connected together. Sometimes that happens to me when I make some changes to layers, so I just go back and click Alt between the 2 layers, making sure the photo layer is on top of the masking layer in the layers palette. When they are connected, there will be a small arrow on the photo layer pointing to the masking layer.

I would love to see a tut for this in Elements. It's such a neat effect.

Not sure I can help, but thought I'd give it a try...
I'll assume (for the purpose of this post anyway) that you have three layers to manage:
1. The Photo
2. The copy of the Photo that is going to be the reflection (it's flipped Vertically from Photo Layer, right?!)
3. The Clipping Mask layer ... start with it EMPTY ... no pixels filled with any color.

Now,
Step 1. Align the bottom edge of PHOTO LAYER with the top edge of REFLECTION LAYER.
Step 2. Clip REFLECTION LAYER to CLIPPING MASK LAYER (activate Reflection Layer and press CTRL+G)
Step 3. CTRL(CMD)+CLICK on the thumbnail image in the REFLECTION LAYER on the layers palette (this make a quick SELECTION of the contents of a layer).
Step 4. With your image now surrounded by marching ants ... activate the REFLECTION LAYER.
Step 5. Get your GRADIENT tool ... set the option to FOREGROUND to TRANSPARENT!!! VERY important that you are adding a gradient that goes from color to transparent!!! Going from Black to White WILL NOT WORK!!! (for PSE4.0)
Step 6. You can chose any radiating style you want ... Linear, Radial, etc ... you'll probably find Radial works best, but have fun ... play play play!
Step 7. REMEMBER you have the UNDO option ... if you don't like the way your reflection appeared after you applied the gradient ... just CTRL(CMD)+Z!
Step 8. You can add scruffy edges by using a very light opacity, fuzzy edge brush ... this gives the reflection a more 'natural' reflective quality.

Does that help at all???

[lbjiowa]

Well...maybe my post below gets close?

[LeggsRobbins]

I'm getting so much closer! I can feel it! All of the above suggestions helped me trouble shoot it a little bit. Changes to the mask now affect only the bottom photo, because they're the same size (Thanks IDTwinMom). My colors WERE inverted, and I fixed that (Thanks again IDTWinMOM). I checked to make sure that the photos were linked (Thanks Rene!).

[LeggsRobbins]

I got it!!! I used the suggestions mentioned above, and the final secret was that I needed to use the black to transparent gradient, not the black to white gradient.

For some reason, (and I know it's not supposed to be this way, and I'm going to troubleshoot that next), painting ANY color (both black and white and everything in between) on the mask reveal the photo. So the black to white gradient WAS being applied, it's just that they were all revealing the photo so the photo just showed up entirely instead of fading out.

This was HARD, but I learned so much in mastering it. I downloaded Grant's alignment tools, learned what masks were, learned what gradients were, learned how to do vertical flips, and lots of other stuff that I had to figure out as I mucked through.

And here it is! (Not the page, just the technique.)

No NEED to research that ... the way a clipping mask works is this:
IF there IS a filled pixel ...
THEN reveal the image that has been clipped to the mask

IF there IS NO fill in a pixel ...
THEN reveal nothing

IF there IS PARTIAL (semi-transparent) FILL in a pixel ...
THEN reveal clipped image using same level of transparency as the semi-filled pixel.

Make sense? Clipping Masks DO NOT have ANYTHING to do with the color used for the mask...it's all about the LEVEL OF FILL in any given pixel!

SO...you could use a brush and paint red dots, green dots, purple dots, black dots etc... then CLIP an image to that layer and all you would SEE is your image peeking through the DOTS!:rofl:

[LeggsRobbins]

That does make sense. I guess what's confusing me, then, is that I just completed a tutorial which had me draw on the a masking layer with white, black, and colors in between. One (I think it was white) revealed the photo beneath, one (I think it was black) hid the photo beneath, and the colors in between revealed it with varying levels of intensity.

Are there different TYPES of layers that function differently?

I remember HOW FRUSTRATING I first found the concept of clipping masks ... now I chuckle when I think about it ... I'm pretty adept at taking something fairly straight forward (but NEW TO ME) and really complicating it in my mind!!!:p:p:p

Yes ... sort of ...
The method Nicole uses (in her tutorial for Photoshop Creative Suite 3) is done through Adjustment Layers ... effectively turning the Adjustment Layer into a clipping mask. An adjustment layer mask actually treats pixels a bit differently ... something like this...

IF a pixel is filled with WHITE
THEN reveal clipped image at 100% opacity

IF a pixel is filled with BLACK
THEN reveal clipped image at 0% opacity (in other words ... your image will NOT be visable)

IF a pixel is filled with ANY OTHER COLOR
THEN reveal clipped image at x% opacity,
WHERE X=intensity value of that color on a COLOR INTENSITY LINE where Black=0 and WHITE=100 and all the colors between are assigned values according to their likeness to Black and/or White.NAVY would be assigned a value much closer to BLACK
Yellow would be assigned a value closer to WHITE
etc...

It's all a matter of preference, but when teaching PSCS and PSE classes at our area community colleges we teach the clipping masks explained in my earlier post ... they are straight forward and the method can then be applied in MANY MANY other design tasks.

As in all things Photoshop/Elements (or any other digital image manipulation software actually) it's all in YOUR PREFERENCE ... whatever makes the most sense to YOU is the 'right way'!!! (Kinda like Burger King!:rofl:)

[cafe scrap]

Tutorial worked & your instructions were easy to follow. I had a play & will post with my Angel Whispers challenge.... just working on completing the page now.

Thanks heaps Nicole. Your awesome :-)

[Nicole Young]

Thanks you guys for helping out so much with answering questions!!! I love that everyone is always willing to assist!! Thank you thank you!!!

[idtwinmom]

Hey, that's what we are all here for!

[Jeneeo]

I have PSE6 & I should've read this thread before working on mine for 3 hours!! ah! I saw the tutorial in the thread and went straight to Nicole's blog for instructions. I'll have to read over it more closely later....I'm too tired. Here's my first attempt at this.

[dagwood]

just found this and I am off to play...thanks Nicole

[stitchmich]

I had someone PM me and ask how I did this with PSP. I am having trouble PMing her back so I thought I would post it here. I hope that's okay. ANd I'm not very good with explaining things so somebody else jump in if I don't make sense or if there is an easier or better way to do it.

Here's what I did in PSPX2:

I put my photo on the page above a background layer and positioned it further toward the top. Duplicate the layer. With the duplicated layer highlighted flip that layer horizontally and position it so it's just at the bottom of the "right side up" photo. (this part I did not do exactly like Nicole's tutorial, because I just reflected the picture and not the background. To reflect background as well, I would repeat this process with the background layer, or make a layer group with the photo and background and flip them together.)

Now with the flipped photo layer highlighted... do Layer>New Mask Layer> Show all. Now comes the part I'm not sure if I can explain well enough. Set your colors to black and white in the Materials palette and choose the circle gradient as Foreground/Background fading. On the Material Properties page it should look like white in the middle of the circle radiating to black on the outside. If it's opposite, check the box that say Invert. Then Fill the mask layer with that gradient. You can then use the Pick tool to move the mask layer around to position it where it best makes the picture show through. Alternately, you can use a large brush set to 30-40% opacity and 10-20% hardness and brush on some white or black to make more or less of the photo show through.

Here is how mine turned out:

[grannypatt]

Thank you, stitch, I am anxious to try this...Thank for posting here.. I hope Nicole doesn't mind.

[Cathiemarie]

Thank you so much for the tutorial Nicole, not only did I learn this fantastic tecnique but I learnt a bunch of other stuff too, from your instructions. Like keyboard shortcuts, those alignment icons, I had no idea until now what they were. I had no idea what a Y axis was before either. The other thing was that really neat way of of flipping and using those 9 little square thingys. I'm on information reception overload. LOL.

Anyway, here's what I came up with. I'm creating an album for a collegue, of his world travels and this tecnique was perfect for this photo. Thanks Nicole.

I am new to digital scrapping, I would like to know if the reflections could be done in Microsoft Digital Imaging, even if it could I don't know if I would be able to accomplish a page as beautiful as yours.

You should be able to

You can rotate your layers in the format menu are the correct commands to position the layers properly and then on the layer that you would do a gradient mask:

Go to effects/transparency/gradual and choose the circular gradient.

If you have any ? give me a PM
