Thank you for your help and work flow suggestion.
I am very confused by all of your steps, as I am not a "power Photoshop" user by any means.
When I open up the image, then do I go to the bottom of the image, where I want to make the reflection and use the marque tool and then hit the "cut" button?
I tried that, and it wasn't pretty. I did convert the layer to a Smart Object and there was nothing but black when I flipped it, so I could not see it when I put
it under the first copy.
I then followed your instructions to make a new document the same size, fill it with white, and followed all the other steps. After I did this, I didn't have a lot of
fibers going from left to right and how do you scale the layer???
After that, I tried to go to Reflection layer, apply Filter-distort-glass filter. In the filter dialog box, I was not able to choose the file I saved as a texture. Should
I have saved the file as something other than a .psd or .jpg file?
Just very confused, as you are writing and giving instructions way over my head.
I sincerely appreciate you trying to help me, is there any way you could "dumb down" the instructions for a Photoshop light weight?
Many thanks in advance.
