How To Create A Configurable Reflection In Photoshop

In this "Photoshop Shorts" episode from masteringportraitphotogaphy.com I show how to create a reflection in Photoshop. Not just that but one that can be done quickly and can then be tuned so that it looks like a mirror-reflection all the way through to a semi-matt surface. I use a picture of a dog to demonstrate the technique but it's equally applicable (and just as quick) to use on product or portrait photography too. Enjoy!

Nice bite sized tutorial Paul. No matter how hard I try, I can never get my whole dog pin sharp when photographing him. I think I'll have to stick to photographing people.

put shutter speed faster. 1/200, 1/250, 1/300 up will do good to capture a dog
