THE SHINY FLOOR EFFECT so fresh and so clean web2.0 – yummy

6 09 2006

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 have tried something which people really love… you can see by the comments.

The shiny floor tutorial can be found at our new domain: PhotoshopCandy.com – Shiny Floor Effect

holy cannoli, i wish i had this blog’s address when i was at my old job, where my task was essentially “learn photoshop.” i failed miserably due in part to the fact that no one stopped me if i decided to just up and leave for an hour. anyway the point is. i bookmarked you. :)

Psd of the day - Hot text with rays of light. « photoshopit

[...] This is not a tutorial: For this one I used a small tight diagnal patter as the background floor. Instead of my usual thick ones. I used impact as the font and I gave it the used up – shiny floor effect. (shiny floor tutorial can be found here). To make the rays of light i used the polygon selection marquee tool and drew out two trangles and filled them with a gradient white to transparent. You can pick up the free psd here. [...]

thedude352

Yeah, when i change the coordinate to -100 it wont let me do it!, PLZ HELP!

9 10 2006
aaron

thedude352 – if that doesnt work than you are probably using an older version of photoshop -but you are not lost… you can do it another way: simply go to EDIT>TRANSFORM>FLIP VERTICAL this will do the exact same thing.

10 10 2006
Emad

Me too have the same problem

How do you get a negative 100% in the coordinate. I get an error saying its out of the range must be between Zero and 320% !!!???

10 10 2006
aaron

EDIT>TRANSFORM>FLIP VERTICAL : as mentioned above this should flip the text also.

12 10 2006
Fran C

I did do one thing. When against a dark background, I change the floor from Normal to Overlay, moved the layer to between the original and the reflection and dropped the opacity from 100% to around 30 or 33% depending on what I am going for.

By the way, this tutorial technique is going a long way to helping me when I “reboot” my portfolio website.

this is great and all…I knew how to do it…I creeate it using vectors. but I was wondering the exact ideas behind the lowercase g, j, p, & q? I usually shorten the bottom part in the reflection to make it right on the baseline. and in your opinion, what would be the perfect floor opacity…I use 42%.
