Addition of reflection in sunglasses - how to make in Adobe Photoshop


If you want to add a complete reflection of sunglasses. It is possible that the image you are trying to change already has a slight reflection. In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a reflection of any image, any situation or palms trees in sunglasses.

Step 1: preparation

Select one of the lenses. You can do with the magic wand tool if the area inside the same hue. If this is not the case, I recommend using the "magical lasso". It is very easy to use, just to the edge and they will automatically select the zone.

After selecting one of the lenses, you should make a new layer. You can do this by pressing the button "New layer" in the layer window. After that, fill it with black. It seems that the real objective is black, but only the layer above the lens is black.

Step 2: clipping

The second step is to move the image you want as a reflection of your document. The image in a new layer and create a clipping mask. To create a clipping mask press Ctrl + Alt + g. You should do "left lens" a clipping for the reflection layer mask.

Step 3: resize

The image now resides in the lens. It is time for to it move and resize with the free transform tool. In this way, you can decide what part of the image that you want to have.

Step 4: Final stage.

We need more three things to do. First, you need to add the inner shadow layer style. This can be either double clicking on the layer. Sunglasses are always darker reflection, that is why the inner shadow is necessary.

The next thing to do is to use the "spherize" - filter to ensure that the image is slightly curved. You can find in distortion. Use "horizontal only" and fix the amount of 30%. Repeat for the right lens and your reflection image is done.
