Making text reflection for text effects is easy using the free photo editing software, Photoscape. You can create great mirror images and mirror text for use on blog headers, website banners, forum posts, etc. So let's get started. Shall we?
Open up Photoscape & Click Editor. Click Menu and choose "New Photo". This is going to be the canvas for our text.

| Click menu & new photo to begin making reflective text in Photoscape. |
Type in the size you want your canvas to be. In my example I'm choosing 500 as the width and 100 as the height. You can change the background color, but I'm sticking with white. Click "OK".
Click the "Object" tab. Click the "Text icon". Choose a nice font. I'm chosing a large, thick font (Strenuous).
Type your text. Note: I'm going to include clip art in my reflective text so, I'm typing some spaces to have room for it. Give your text a shadow effect. Click "OK".
 |
| Choose a bold or large sized text for great looking reflective text. |
Adjust your text to fit inside your canvas. If you're adding a clip art like me, Click the "Photo icon" (still under the Object tab) & click on heart. Click on a heart image. Click "OK". Adjust the size of the heart and position it where you want it to appear on your canvas.
Click the "Crop tab" and crop your canvas so that the bottom of the text is close to the edge. Click "Save cropped area". Name your reflective text and choose a file type JPG. Choose file quality you want and click "OK". I keep the quality of mine at 95%.
 |
| It's a good idea to crop text so bottom is close to edge of the bottom. |
Look to the left and find the file you just saved. I saved mine to the desktop so I click desktop. Click on your file when you've found it. A dialog box will pop up saying edited photo was not saved. However you saved a cropped copy of it, so click "NO", not to save file. Your cropped text should now be showing in the viewer.
On the "Home tab". Click on "Filter". Click on "Reflection" in the list. You should see that your text has a reflection or mirror effect showing in the viewer. Adjust the options as you wish. Click "OK".
 |
| You can adjust the size, level, perspective, and background color of reflective text. |
Click Save to save your reflective text. That's it! You've just made reflective text to use as a banner, blog header, or other uses.
I love using Photoscape, don't you?
Happy photo editing!
