Spotlight is Here! - Design Tutorial 10
Looking good there. Let’s add reflection to our stage lights. Duplicate the whole set, and move it right underneath the original layer. Using your Eraser Tool, set the size to 100px, and fade it out up to 1-1/2 of a row. Drop the opacity to 10% again, and we are looking at this picture:
