| Brendon's 100% percent right that you should use "Add" for a reflection--a true reflection will only make the screen lighter, not darker. Add is your best bet for this, or maybe screen, but in either case you'll want to add a levels effect to the layer to control the reflection strength and contrast.

Use Levels on the reflections to dial them in, but I'd still stick with Adding in linear space. You can use the color profile converter to do this on just the Add operation if you don't want to set your entire project to linear. > > > Brendan > > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
