Would have been better to have a commentary and taken it slower.

Well done! But what have I to do, to get this great refelexions of the bridge and the sky in the river?

Greetings from Germany!

[wadehjb]

It's quite easy really. Just copy the bridge and sky, flip them vertically and reduce the layer opacity. I then use the eraser to remove any parts that overlap the waterside.

Hope that helps. I also used an alternative water picture to give it a different texture. I describe it in more detail on my website.

It's by Virgill and Cons and the track is called "Like a Childbirth".

If you run a google search you can download it for free.

Hey everyone, anybody know (no PC) how to increase/decrease brush size with a shortcut? I've read many places that say the " [ " and " ] " brackets, but they just don't seem to work on my end. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
