Glass effect

[jamescwarren]

For a while I have noticed the glass effect that Apple puts on some of the images on their site. I remember them the other day with the introduction of the iPhone (on the orange, blue and green things I think it was that say Widescreen iPod, Phone etc...) Is there any app out there that does this? I know pages does the reflection effect but have not seen the glass thing anywhere.

If you find one let me know, i could really use some simple way of adding that effect.

Do you mean something like this?
The top half of the image is separated by a slight curve and is lighter.

 

[jamescwarren]

Yeah just like that!

 

[applelabs]

Yeah just like that!

You can do that in Photoshop. Just draw an oval, fill it with transparent white, and place it over the top half of your image.

Sorry I don't have Photoshop.

Sorry I don't have Photoshop.

then u can do it in GIMP

 

[jamescwarren]

Yeah about that, I just downloaded GIMP, and it says I require X11. I know what that is but can I use it on an Intel Mac? (I have a MacBook.)
