glass Reflection effect

Here is a simple tutorial on how to create a glass reflection effect.

1. Create a new layer on any size you like, and name it bg.(back ground) then make a gradient color from top to bottom
(#000000 as a foreground color and #13176f as a background color).

2. Now type a text on the stage on any font you like(i use arial here).

3. Now create a duplicate on the text by holding down the alt key plus the arrow down key or right click on the text and select "Duplicate", and hit ctrl+t and tilt it downward.


4. Now add a "Layer Mask" on the tilted text. Be sure you are on the tilted text.
5.Add a Gradient effect according to the arrow's direction.

And your done if you have the same output with mine :D. cheers!

You can also decrees its opacity to make it more realistic by dragging the sliding bar.
