I have searched a lot but never came across a tut explaining how to create a reflection for an object with more than one lines of reflection. Please any help would be appreciated. I am talking about the reflection under the car in this picture.

erm..
What about duplicating the image, flipping it vertically, change the color mode to I think "screen", and lower the opacity of the duplicated image.

Think that should work

Rotate the reflection layer:
Select the screen layer, press Ctrl+T and you'll be able to rotate the layer by rotating one of the tiny squares in the corners.
If you don't know what I mean, tell me and I'll make a screenshot for you

Yeah, I would like a screenshot. Thank You.

While I was making the screenshots for you I realised that it's not as easy as we thought at first.
I only can get this:


I've asked some of my friends and we think that it's not possible to do that using Photoshop, but well, maybe someone can give us an idea about how to do it.
Sorry about my mistake

Tried to redo the effect:
1. Duplicate layer
2. ctrl+T and then edit > transform > flip vertical (dont apply yet)
3. Edit >transform > skew : move center handle on the left edge bout 10° (you can follow the settings in your info palette) Dont apply yet!
4. Now move the center handle along the bottom edge of the transformation tool to the left (less then the previous one)
5. then rotate the layer (just a little)
6. Gaussion blur, add noise if you want.
7. Lowr the opacity of the layer a little bit, and maybe even make a black to white gradient mask.

Thats how i would do it.

Tried it but it still doesnt really look right to me sry.
More work to be done !

I will do it whenever I get home, and post the results. I think I know how to achieve this affect.
