1. Duplicate the background layer ( Command J ) twice so you have 3 layers
2. Using the top layer:
• invert it vertically
• reduce its opacity to about 50%
• slide it down so the boundary of where you want your reflection matches the
background layer ( in this case, the base of the mosque)
• go to Filter... Distort.... Wave ( use whichever settings look good to you)
( keep the vertical scale as small as possible 1%)
• if needed go to Edit and choose Fade Wave
• choose a new layer mask and paint out the overlapping area
( make sure foreground color is black)
• change the blending mode to overlay and drop the opacity if needed
3. Using the second layer
• use the lasso tool to select the reflection area
• apply the Wave filter ( Command F)
• lower the opacity a littlle bit
