Another ulead photoimpact trick from brokencode how to make a mirror effect image. I don’t wanna show you the complex way, without channels. Just follow these ways with click and library powered.

1. Open a new file [CTRL+N]. For this exam I use a 320×240 px. Adjust the resolution required for your needed. If you create only for web image, 72dpi is enough. Choose a white canvas.

2. Let’s start by create the background. Select ; Linear Gradient Fill Tool on the left sidebar. Arrange the color as you like. Drag the mouse to the canvas from top to bottom.

3. Select ‘Text Tool’ and create your text. Give a touch a 3D effect to the text; Just choose from ‘Easy Pallete’ - ‘Text/Path Effect’ - ‘Text Style Gallery’ while the text selected. Duplicate the text by copy/paste or [shift+D]. Using ‘Transform Tools’, ‘Flip Vertically’ the duplicate one and bring to the bottom of the original one. Give an gradient effect to the duplicate one; Select the text, Menu Effect - Creative - Type Effect or [alt+C+C+E], then select ‘Effect : Gradient’. Parameter value set from 100 to 0.

4. Do the same to other objects to give a floor reflection effect image.
