Mirror, Mirror, on the wall...

Lifehacker reported recently that free web photo utility MirrorEffect.net offers a cool online tool for creating Mac-like reflections. "Find an image with a clean background,  choose where you want the reflection, and tell the app if you want a scaled effect to look like light bending. You can also choose to have the reflection be transparent, but there's no sliding scaler for that effect, unfortunately. Upload the image and you'll get the result decently fast. There's not a lot of options, obviously, but for pulling off that clean, Apple-promo-esque look, it's a helpful tool for those not quite handy with an editor. MirrorEffect.net is free to use, doesn't require a sign-up." I've tried it, and it performs exactly as promised. Shame though that anyone with Powerpoint07 these days can do the same...

Also - this javascript is quick and easy to install for websites and only requires a very simple bit of coding in your image tags. I've had some success using it on our work webpage.

I still think a blog on design should have a better design.
