Reflection
shadow is one more extension of making an image multi-dimensional. It adds
depth to the main object. It can also create an illusion of expansion and
vastness in a small space. Used in imaging during post processing, it rustles
up wonderful visuals.
No matter where
one goes, the shadow follows and so does a reflection if there is any. If
children play with shadow, the elders are but concerned about the reflection.
It makes one realize who the person one is. In a way it is a way one keeps
touch with reality. The same holds true for images as well. When bereft of reflection and shadow, it loses touch with
reality. It fails to generate the viewer’s interest. But with reflection and
shadow viewers can hardly take their eyes off from the image. Digital photo manipulation software has made it
easier to take the images to the next level where they are close to reality.
The 3D interpretation is but one of revolutionizing step.
The idea is to create an illusion. With
Photoshop becoming so ubiquitous, many users try the effect on many kinds of
editing projects. But for starters, it is very natural to make some mistakes
while doing it without realizing it. But the same cannot be said about the
online galleries of e-commerce customers. Here, even simple mistakes may evoke
embarrassment or reduced buyers. It is a grim prospect for virtual business.
The idea is to create a very strong visual impact something as strong as the
physical tracks. If one succeeds in doing so, the products won’t take long
before they fly off the shelves.
Reflection and shadow are
two different effects. They can be applied together or individually. The choice
should be aesthetically made. As said earlier, the aim is to create a visual
effect. So, it is important to judge the kind of visual effects, which is best,
suited. The shadow is a grey shape, which is placed beneath the image. But that
is a very basic approach to shadows. In actuality, experienced editors are
doing so much with the shadow effect. Be it the shape, color, position and the
impact, their innovations always bring up something new. In fact, viewers are
now accustomed to seeing shadow effects on most
products they want to buy. They are attracted if they find some twist in it.
The much-coveted twist can be reflection shadow for the buyer. As the
name suggests, it is kind of digital effects, which has the impact of both
reflection and shadow. It needs special expertise to club the two effects in
proper manner. It must be noted that both work the best against white or light
colored background. The correct positioning of the two, earns the image its
credentials. Though it is simple software guided task, but there is always risk
of overdoing the effect. Further, this kind of effect suits only selective
images.
Why just be
limited with images? The reflection shadow can be applied to texts as well.
Texts do not only convey messages, they can also be used as medium of visual
appeal. Applying the reflection shadow
to texts is not same. In case of texts, the effect has to be introduced
separately for each letter. Creating reflection for some is letters is simpler
than other. It is easy for ‘T’ but the same for ‘Y’ needs a special
attention. Further, the effects
should match with each other when the letters are placed one after another.
