This image below is another sample of modified mirror effect.
Create your mirror effect in Adobe Photoshop in a few minutes. This tutorial, we will use text then we apply a mirror for the text, this is very easy to do, just follow the instructions below, and I assume you have a basic knowledge of navigating to the IDE of Adobe Photoshop.
Step 1: Open Adobe Photoshop software installed from your computer.
Step 2: Go to menu File -> New then a new window will appear, the new window set the width to 400 pixels and set the height to 200 pixels and set the background contents to white and last the resolution value to 72 then click OK button.
Step 3: Go to the toolbox and select the type tool the symbol is T, “capital letter T”, select it then click to the work area, the white space. In this tutorial I will use my first name and you are free to experiment to this tutorial, e. g. use your own name, Tom, Jerry, Samurai, or what… Okay I will use my name “Mark”, and then after you type any text name go to the toolbox and select the move tool, the move tool will help you to move text or layer in your work area, move your text to the center of the work area.
Step 4: Then go to the layers window and duplicate the layer, the layer with the name you type, the layer name in my example since earlier I type Mark, the layer will also named Mark, select the layer and hit Ctrl + J in your keyboard, if you notice there’s another layer appear from the layers window named “Mark Copy”.
Step 5: Select the layer named “Mark Copy” hold mouse left button then drag the layer down to the layer named “Mark” then release the left mouse button, next make sure you still select the layer named “Mark Copy” then hit Ctrl + T in your keyboard. If you notice to the work area there’s a box with the point, move your mouse inside the box then right click and select “Flip Vertical” and hit enter from your keyboard.
Step 6: Select the layer with the name “Mark Copy” and press arrow down from your keyboard, compare your work from image below.
