Hello there

I’d like to create a ground mirror effect like the car was on a "white pure reflecting ground".

It’s like many site that sell goods with a white reflecting ground.

The object is a DVD player, so it’s in perspective.

Please help, I’m quite newbie with PS.

Thanks.

Bob

Maker the canvas size larger first , double the height dimension leave the width
make a duplicate layer
select it and horizontal flip, move it into place (shift, arrow down or drag)
it should look like a butterfly sideways
use transform perspective a and/or some filters to create the mirror effect

or use filter liquefy there is a mirror tool in there.

now I am confused by example one
are you just trying to make the object look like it has a reflection on the surface??
or like in examples 2-3 it shows a ‘ghosty" shinier image as a reflection?? in examples 2-3 those elements are in the orig photos, in one case as I said photograph the object on white plexiglass and example 3 is a part of a desk?
