Mirror Effect

The basics
What Is Mirror Effect?
The mirror effect adds a reflection of the product beneath it, as if it stands on a glossy surface. Reflection length, opacity, and softness are matched to the product and the look of the catalog, from a sharp showroom reflection to a soft diffused sheen.
It is used by brands that want a polished, premium catalog and advertising look: cosmetics, perfume, watches, shoes, electronics, and furniture. A reflection adds depth and makes the product feel placed in a real space.
Reflections are built by hand. A flipped copy of the product alone looks fake, so the editor blends it with gradients, blur, and a contact shadow, the way a real glossy surface would show it.
A mirror effect service for product photos is used by cosmetics, perfume, watch, and shoe brands that want a polished catalog look. A product reflection service for e-commerce also suits electronics and furniture sellers, where a clean reflection adds a showroom feel to listings. Advertising studios use mirror effect for cosmetics and perfume photos in campaigns, where a glossy surface makes the product stand out.
Our mirror effect service creates reflections that look like a real glossy surface, with the right length, softness, and fade for each product. A careful mirror effect adds depth without distracting from the product itself, and it works with the catalog style you already use. The result is a premium, finished look that suits product pages and advertising alike.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the mirror effect in Photoshop?
In Photoshop, the mirror effect involves duplicating the cut-out subject layer, flipping it vertically or horizontally along the grounding axis, positioning it beneath the product, and blending it using layer masks, gradient tools, and contact shadows. Our artists apply custom Gaussian blur distributions and opacity decay gradients to emulate genuine optical reflection physics.
What image formats do you accept and deliver?
We accept all industry formats including camera RAW files (.CR2, .NEF, .ARW), TIFF, PSD, PNG, and JPEG. For delivery, we provide layered PSD or TIFF files with reflections isolated on transparent layers for total non-destructive flexibility, alongside web-optimized PNG or pure white JPEG exports.
Can you match the reflection length and softness to my catalog?
Yes. Reflection length, opacity, and softness are matched to the product and the look of the catalog, from a sharp showroom reflection to a soft diffused sheen.
Do you combine reflections with contact shadows?
Yes. Contact shadows are combined with the reflection so the product stays grounded on its new background.
Can you create floating reflections for raised products?
Yes. Floating reflections are created for products shown raised above the surface.
Can you prepare mirror-effect images for marketplace listings?
Yes. Pure white pedestal presentations are prepared for marketplace listings, alongside layered files for further editing.
How long does a mirror effect order take?
Turnaround depends on the number of images and the reflection style needed. Send your images with your guidelines and we will confirm the delivery time before we start.
What file formats can I send?
You can send your images in any standard format, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, and RAW. Finished files come back as layered PSD or TIFF files, or in the format you specify.
Which products suit a mirror effect?
Products with smooth, hard surfaces suit it best: bottles, watches, shoes, gadgets, and furniture. Soft or matte products usually suit a simple shadow better. Send your images and we will tell you what fits.
Can the reflection be softened if it looks too strong?
Yes. Reflection length, opacity, and softness are matched to your catalog, and we adjust them until the look fits your guidelines.
Do you offer free revisions?
Yes. If a reflection needs adjusting, we fix it until it matches your guidelines.
