you could try this:
select all and copy, create new channel (alpha), paste,
in layers, create a selection around the object (without the reflection, I recommend creating a path) - use this selection in the alpha channel and fill it black, then invert the alpha channel. your alpha channel should now show a 100% white object shape on a black background with a grey gradiant reflection.use the alphachannel to make a selection (you will have to adjust brightness/contrast on the alphachannel before in order to get close to the same level of reflection as in the original image), go back to layers (make sure you are back on the RGB channel) and copy paste. then delete the original background layer and save as PNG
result should look something like this:
- instead of playing around with brightness/contrast on the alpha channel, it should also work if you just use the inverted selection of the cutout path on the background layer and fill it blackd_gitale
- < this, learn it once and never forget... incredibly handy technique.kingsteven
- cut-out selection and fill it black (on the background layer), before creating a selection using the alpha channeld_gitale
