Photoshop allows you to put a bunch of image elements into various layers of a single new image which you can them manipulate (move around) independent of each other. Once you have a photo of a coin from a camera, one can cut out just the coin using a circular cut and paste tool ... then paste that free floating coin over top of a black background in a new layer. To do the reflection I simply take the coin image and do a "rotate canvas, flip canvas vertical" (which is an option in the pulldown menu) then re-size the flipped image in the vertical direction only (making the flipped image thinner). then i set the opacity of the flipped image to 75% (which makes it look more like a reflection). I think these types of manipulations can be done with almost any graphics package (even ones cheaper than Photoshop).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
