ya i have no idea...
it wouldnt let me put the reflection right under the original, so i tried to do something with angling the gradient, but it failed, so next time im gonna just do something than a reflection.
mabye like a glow
Are you using an "automatic reflection" tool? How I make a reflection (and I've yet to make a tutorial for this) is
1) Copy something (like the google logo)
2) Paste it on a new layer and flip it vertically
3) Using the selection tool with a 40 pixel feather, select from the middle of the reflection to the bottom of the reflection and delete
4) Adjust the opacity of the reflection layer to something like 75
5) Then using the same selection technique (with a 40 pixel feather) select from just below the top of the reflection to the bottom of the document
6) Using the new selection apply a guassian blur effect
I'll get around to making some screenshots and posting this in a blog, but unfortunately it will be for Paint Shop Pro which is outdated software.

Submitted by soundofemotion on Sun, 07/06/2008 - 17:24Though I really have to ask what the deal is with the reflection... Are you going to adjust that? Or is it sort of "abstract"?

its funny, i used that same HD google image, and when i shrunk it it got pixelated...
Re: calendar.google.com
Submitted by gumanov on Sun, 07/06/2008 - 17:57i see.
HD Google pixellated - really?? when u resize, try Free Transform, drag one of the corners while holding shift to preserve ratio..
