THE SHINY FLOOR EFFECT – Glossy Effect Photoshop (with free PSD files)

Here is another photoshop web 2.0 style graphic tutorial.

the finished Product

This is what we will be doing …now that is a clean floor. This one I tried something new – I dont always like the way tutorials are written out – they can get boring and not easy to follow. So I am not going to talk much…

here is the process:

the process

so how is it going? shall we move along?

The continuation

and now the finally.

And how can i forget the free psd file!
DOWNLOAD IT HERE

PSD comes with all layers intact…and it’s free for use and reuse … until you cant stand it no more!
Now how was that tutorial.? I hope to hear some feedback on that one…. was it clear and easy to follow? did you get the job done? Photoshop tutorials can sometimes be a real pain when there is too much text to read – So I guess I am trying to minimize the text and go more visual. Since it is not video this is what we got.

  1. You don’t really need the layer mask – you can just use a white gradient to transparent and it will give the same effect.
    I got used to using a mask..
    its like an eraser without really erasing anything.

  2. Oh, and one more thing … it’s editable. No layer was required to be rasterized, so you can change the text, the color … everything, instead of having to go through step by step all over again with what text you want.

    That’s cool!

    Thank you again!

  3. I’m self-taught, and had seen that effect on so many sites and never could do it via other tutorials in other programs.

    This tutorial, for PhotoShop (that I’m more familiar with) was easy! I did it, first time, even with the obvious differences in my version of PS compared to what was used here.

    Thanks so much!

  5. Trying to do this with lower case g’s and getting alot of grief – the loop stick out above the font instead of making a nice reflection. Any suggestions?

  6. Thanks so much, you’re greatly helping me out in my Graphic Communications class! This is the easiest on-web guide I’ve read so far, and I’ve been looking for them for a while! Thanks again

  11. Nice tutorial I’ll use it to refresh some my graphics at makitra.net website.
    btw: Effects such this can be obtained by using layer masks. I think it’s much more effective than reflection use
