Image Manipulation With GIMP:Reflecting Text
Posted on 31. Dec, 2008 by Aniket.
The approach is simple…WE will insert some text , duplicate it and then flip it over , then rotate it by 180 degrees. After which we have to add a layer mask and select the blend tool to create the reflection effect complete and realistic. We’ll also use the Gaussian Blur and Lighting Effect Filters to make it more realistic.
Tools Used :
TEXT (use a large font size with a clear and eye friendly colur)
Background and Foreground
Blend(foreground colour should be black , background colour should be white)
Filters Used:
Gaussian Blur (Filters>>Blur>>Gaussian Blur): Blur Radius =2
Lighting Effects(Filters>>Light And Shadow>>Lighting Effects): Customize to your needs
To mirror the duplicate layer you have made..
select the layer…go to the “layer” option on the top bar…select transform>>both the options (flip horizontally and rotate by 180 degrees can be found here)
Dialogs Required:
Layers(if this is not open by default go to “dialogs” option on the top bar and select Layers)
