YouTube videos are spreading rapidly and vastly. In the future, most videos in the web will be called as YouTube, even though they were hosted in other places. People in the place where I have my intern were addicted to download interesting videos made by YouTube subscribers. Then those people asking me how to download such videos into their hard disk and played at their PC at home. Most of them didn’t know how to install FLV players in their PC. So I need to search site which can download YouTube videos and convert them into playable format in default Windows Media Player. My recommendation is Media Converter. (more…)

Just kidding, now.
This is the simplest tutorial I’ve ever made. I get this tutorial by watching those web 2.0 templates around the globe recently, and figure it out as soon as possible. Well, here it is guys, so simple. All you need to know is that most reflection is good in the dark, what I mean is, they look absolutely beautiful in dark background. Let’s take dark green background as example and put white text on it.
To create the reflection, press ctrl + J to duplicate the text. You will have two layers with the same text. Now, put one of the text under the other.
Then flip it vertically by using ctrl + T, right-click on it, and flip vertically. Or you can access the Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical. There you got the reflection, now. But you need to make it more smooth and soft.
In order to make it smooth, you won’t need the text’s original color, so put the Fill opacity into 0%. Then right-click the layer to set Blending Option. Then fill it with gradient. This is how the gradient composition which is simply good for reflection:
It is a combination of white-white gradient, however, there are different transparency. One is around 40%, while the other is completely 0%. Put it just like the picture above. It’s done! You can arrange other glossy effect, but remember, web 2.0 things are all about simplicity. It pleases your eyes very well.
