| Creating Mirror Images in PI 4.2 | |
1. Create a Horizon using the previous tutorial. You can skip this step.
2. Using your text tool, create some text.
3. Follow the steps in the tutorial, Perspective Shadow, to create a perspective shadow. If you are using Eye Candy, skip this step for now.
4. Select your original text with the text tool, and do whatever effects you want to on it. I have used 3d round, with a small bevel and using one of the natural textures to fill it in.
5. Right click on your text and duplicate it. Select your new image. Select Edit-->Rotate and Flip-->Flip Vertically.
6. Right click on your flipped image, and select properties. Set the transparency at somewhere between 30-60%.
7. Line up the flipped image with the bottom of your main image.
8. If you didn't make a shadow before, use Eye Candy's Perspective Shadow plug in on your main (not flipped) text. Right click and merge, crop to what you want.
