Nice effect as long as it’s not overused and in context with the rest of the design

Hi Niki, you’re comment about rasterizing text to use the perspective tool got me a thinking )

A really simple solution would be to convert the text into a smart object before you duplicate it.

Then once you’ve created your duplicate smart object layer for the reflection you can apply a gradient mask.

You’re then able to use the perspective transform tool on both smart objects and if you need to edit the text at all you open the smart object – make the edits and voila both the text and its reflection are updated.

Hope that’s useful )

I have to say that I agree with both @John McMullen & @Daryl Walker-Smith in using a mask and gradient tool, especially with the Masks panel in CS4.

Nice tip anyway, thanks Niki
