Delphi123

Dear Applecider and friends:

I seem to have hit a wall. Hope you can help.

Here is the original template with the original reflection effect:

http://www.immortalgems.com/original/

I modified the text of the menu at the top of the page. Here is my modified menu:

And here is a screenshot of my attempt to change the text of the type layer (Reflection layer) in Photoshop:

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks so much.

Benjamin , I revised the text on you original PDF file and emailed you a copy. Let me know if that is what you need

Dear Rick:

Thanks so very much for the revised PSD with the shadow mirror effect. Looks just right.

How did you do it? Is it easy? Can you show me how to do it in Photoshop? I would like to know so that if I wanted to change the menu, I could do it myself.

Thanks again for your kind help.

Benjamin, I just clicked on the Nav type layer to activate the type and made the adjustments there.
Then I duplicated the type layer, then went to Edit/transform/flip vertical.
Place this layer below the type layer select the move tool and position it where you want it and the lower the opacity until you have the desired effect.
On the copy I sent you I used the Edit/Transfrom/Skew tool to give the shadow text a bit of a lean to the right , and that's it

Best

[righton] shaping up nicely Delphi!

The only suggestion that I might make would be to keep your page colours consistent (as you did on the home page)... but then, this is a matter of personal preference!

Dear wbiss and friends:

Good point about color consistency. This template allows me a certain degree of color "inconsistency" as can be seen from the menu entries at top and the individual sections and pages of the site. However, I do have to make sure that this "inconsistency" is still consistent.

Thanks again.
