Object's Reflection with curved bottom edges
- Thread starter smiq
- Start date
A lot depends on your skill level in Photoshop. The tutorial linked below is very good but it's probably too much for a beginner. The tutorial creates a reflection of a can of Coca Cola, which is difficult enough once you view the entire thing. Your image of three bottles presents even more challenges. (It looks like your image is actually one bottle that was copied three times. If that's the case, you probably only need to create one reflection from one bottle and then copy the reflection two more times, the same way you grouped the three bottles.)

I say "fake it till you make it"!
The bottles had a terrible cutout. But I left that alone.
Here's the finished image.
Just make a copy of the bottles.
Move the copy behind and below with the Move Tool. You don't have to flip the image if you don't want to.
You can also apply a perspective change using free transform (Cmd/Cntrl + T)
Add a layer mask to the copy layer.
Add a Gradient to that layer mask.
Lower the layers opacity (30%) to your liking.
Now add a contact shadow by creating a new layer below the bottle layer.
Make a selection by holding Cmd/Cntrl + Clicking the bottle layers thumbnail.
Fill the selection with black.
Convert to a smart object......for fast easy editing.
Move the shadow down.
Add a Smart Gaussian Blur filter, to your liking.
Lower the layers opacity (60%) to your liking.
Done.
