simple (a little old) but still nice tutorial: you could make it better by going to Edit.. Transform.. Perspective. or try to use the filters a little

[RunarM]

This will show you how you can merge and transform your text:

1.
Just add a new layer:


2.
Hold Shift and select all layers like this:


3.
Now click on the layer you created in the first step and click 'merge layers'

Now you'll only have 1 layer...

4. Now you can go to Edit -> Transform and choose one of those to transform your text, you can also use free transform.. (The quality will look bad until you click Apply transform

This is what i ended up with:

This is how to make Reflected text:

1.
Write something with the writing tool, i wrote Code'N'Stuff =):


2.
Now you have to duplicate the layer, right click on your layer and click 'Duplicate layer'. Like this:


3.
Select 1 of the 2 layers and go to:
Edit -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal


Edit -> Transform -> Rotate 180


And place the selected text under the original text like this:


4.
Now go to:
Layer -> Layer style -> Blending Option
and make the Opacity 25%

Now you'll have this:


5.
Now choose the rectangular marquee tool (M) and make the feather 15 px


YOU HAVE TO MERGE THE LAYER BEFORE YOU CAN DO THIS (READ TUTORIAL ABOVE):

6. Now select the text which is the reflect like this:


and click Delete once...


You are done and you'll have something like this:



[ I rushed this tutorial cause i did it but i got deleted the first time :S ]
[ I might redo the tutorial, or do a video tutorial ]

I'll teach you how to make a 3D (Red-Cyan) Image.

This is what you will need:
*Photoshop
*An image (i used: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3086/313 ... 01ccb7.jpg)

Step 1:
First you'll need to dublicate your image, you do this by draging your 1 image down to the dublicate layer tool (which you can see in the image).


Step 2:
Select 'Layer 1' and go to 'Edit' -> 'Transform' -> Perspective and top right you'll see something that says H: [textbox] - In the textbox you write: 2,00
Then this msgbox thing will pop up, click 'Apply'.


Step 3:
Select 'Layer 2' and go to 'Edit' -> 'Transform' -> Perspective and top right you'll see something that says H: [textbox] - In the textbox you write: -2,00
Then this msgbox thing will pop up, click 'Apply'.


Step 4:
Select 'Layer 1' again and go to 'Layer' -> 'Layer style' -> 'Blending options...' and uncheck 'R'.


Now you are finished and you'll have something like this:

If you are unhappy with the red and the cyan in the image you can change the H: at perspective.
Thanks, RunarM.

If you add an extra layer for background it will look better, like this:
