Tutorial goal:
This tutorial will take reflections a step further. We will create realistic floor reflections for a 3 dimensional object.

step 6
Again first select the "Object reflection" layer.
And select everything else, shown in the image.
Now press ctrl + j again.
Call the new layer "Refl. right side"

step 7
Now lets click on the indication of visability for the "Object reflection" layer. (click on the eye)
Also make the "Refl. right side" layer invisable by clickingo n the visability indicator.
Next select the "Refl. left side" layer and press ctrl + t to get ready to transform the layer.
The first step will be to move the reflection up untill the right side touches the real speaker.

step 8
Now right click and choose skew,
and drag the left side up untill the left side also touches the real speaker.

step 9
But if we take a good look at the reflection, we see the reflection is wrong.
Remember the 3 arrows those were spots where the speaker touches the ground.
The corner infront did not touch the ground because the speak has a foot to stand on.
To fix this and make it look like it should we will need to make some perspective lines.
Take a look at the image to see the perspective lines.
The lines with 100% opacity are the ones we need.
The others are just to see if i made them right.

step 10
Now select the "Refl. left side" and press ctrl + t again.
Right click and choose skew, and this time skew the right side untill it touches the cross*.
*Defining Cross: where the perspective lines touch eachother.
Now take a look at the number in the skew menu, (see image: 6,4) now multiply this by 2,
and remmeber this number (12,8).
Keep skewing untill you got this number (if you get 12,7 / 12,9 then release and make the 7 / 9 an 8).
