This is the final result of this episode, a monumental tower that now appears to stand at the edge of a water reflection, complete with ripples and fading blue tones below. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Water reflections make architectural and landscape photos feel more majestic and symmetrical. Today, we'll add a water reflection pool step by step using canvas size, flip, and distort filters. Open the tower photo.
Select image, canvas size, and increase the height by about 50% with the top margin, creating new space below the photo.
Press Ctrl J to duplicate the photo, name it 'reflection', then select edit, transform, flip vertical. Drag it down until the bottom of the tower meets exactly with its reflection.
Water rarely reflects perfectly. Convert the reflection layer into a smart object, then apply motion blur with a 90-degree angle and a small distance, making the reflection slightly stretch downward.
Select filter, distort, and replay with a small amount. The reflection lines now ripple like the surface of wind-blown water. Add hue saturation clipped and lower lightness to make the reflection darker than the original.
Then apply a mask to the reflection layer and drag a gradient to make the reflection fade downward.
Compare it with the original photo. Save PSD and export JPG.
Done. We have extended the canvas, created a reflection using vertical flip, added motion blur and replay, darkened, and faded the reflection using a gradient mask. In the next episode, we will transform a daytime photo into a nighttime one. Need product photo editing for marketplace, retouching photos, designing posters, or social media content?
