@Enrico, there probably is a way. I haven’t used Quartz in a long while. If I was to hazard a guess, put in a math patch and divide the result by two so it is twice the size.

Great tutorial!

One thing though… When I was finished, having followed the exact steps, I went into full screen viewer mode. There, the image was stretch to fit the width of the screen, and the height was adjusted according to the aspect ratio, cutting off the top of the first image and the bottom of the reflection. Is there a way to add “empty” space around the image so that nothing is cut off?

Thanks for help.

Im having trouble with the ‘download image’ patch…
perhaps I’m typing the path incorrectly (not sure) but i cant get my chosen image to show in the viewer.

Looks like 98% of web designers no longer need Photoshop… ;)

I’ve changed step 6. Sorry I forgot to put in the values required to flip the image. If you go back you should see the change.

I am trying to follow this process, but I am getting different results:

Connecting the aspect ratio from the Image Dimensions to the height of one image and the width of another gives me two very different shapes of the image. One is squished tall, and the other is flattened. (Aha! Zooming in on the picture shows they are both connected to width.)

In step 6, I don't see how this flips the image upside down, as it does in your example.

This is a cool tutorial ... I just need some clarification.

The image downloader is used to enable you to downloader the image for use in the reflection.
