Creating Window Reflection
Along with water, glass is a very hard element to replicate in PhotoShop, at least realistically, because it's appearance depends greatly on it's environment. In this tutorial, we are going to replicate the look of a house window, complete with the window pane and the reflection of the outside view.
If you're looking for a really good web host, try Server Intellect - we found the setup procedure and control panel, very easy to adapt to and their IT team is awesome!
We will start with a PhotoShop document with our two images on separate layers - we will need an indoor image, and an outdoor image. We will be using the following for this tutorial:
For now, let's hide the outside layer and create a new layer on the very top. Make a selection with the Marquee Tool that looks something like this:
Goto Select > Modify > Smooth, and choose 1-3px. Using the Paint Bucket to fill this selection with White on the new layer. Then open up the layer styles and add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and Bevel and Emboss. We used the default settings for all of these, but you can tweak the values and choose the settings that fit your needs. You are encouraged to experiment.
We used over 10 web hosting companies before we found Server Intellect. Their dedicated servers and add-ons were setup swiftly, in less than 24 hours. We were able to confirm our order over the phone. They respond to our inquiries within an hour. Server Intellect's customer support and assistance are the best we've ever experienced.
Now go back to our inside layer and add a color overlay layer style, White, with opacity set to around 25% and Blend Mode to Exclusion. Again, play with the settings and find the best to fit your image and needs. Finally, reduce the opacity of the outside layer to around 15% to replicate a reflection on the glass. We should end with something like this:
Guys, please take a look at Server Intellect for Windows Web Hosting. I'm very pleased. You will be too. Take a look and see for yourself!

After the mastectomies,I knew that one way to get myself going would be to start exercising again,so I headed for the local pool.In the communal shower,I found myself noticing other women‘s breasts for the first time in my life.Size-D breasts and size-A breasts,sagging breasts and perky breasts.Suddenly and for the first time,after all these years of missing a leg,I felt acutely self-conscious.I couldn‘t bring myself to undress.
