    I have been seeing sigs lately that are like reflected or mirrored on the ground underneath them. How do you make that effect on gimp?

    Sorry I must have deleted a part of that paragraph some how when I was inserting the picture. I added the rest back.

    its not too hard if you just think about it...

    1) take whatever u want to make a shadow. Duplicate and flip it.
    2) take a large soft brush and erase the bottom bit

    example..

    Also make sure it is lined up.

    Close, but if you want a better effect, just take a gradient and pan upwards. Make sure you have it on color erase. Of course, the mirrored surface should be on a separate layer so that you don't ruin the upper half.
