How Do I Make Glass in Photoshop?

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to create a realistic glass effect in Photoshop. We'll start by creating a simple shape, and then we'll apply a series of layer styles to give it the appearance of glass. Finally, we'll add a reflection to complete the effect.Let's get started!First, create a new Photoshop document. I'm going to use an image size of 640x480px for this tutorial.Once your document is created, use the Rectangle Tool (U) to draw a shape on your canvas. I'm using a black stroke color for my shape.Next, we need to add some layer styles to our shape. Double-click on the shape layer in the Layers panel to bring up the Layer Style dialog box.First, add a Bevel and Emboss style. Set the Size to 3 px, the Depth to 100%, and uncheck the Use Global Light option. Then, set the Angle to 120 degrees and the Altitude to 30 degrees.Now, add a Satin style just below the Bevel and Emboss style. Set the Blend Mode to Color Dodge, and check both Invert and Contour options.Next, set the Distance to 5 px, Size to 5 px, and Levels to 1. Finally, set the Angle to 90 degrees.Next, add a Drop Shadow style below the Satin style. Set the Blend Mode to Multiply, check both Use Global Light and Multiply Interpolation options. Then, set the Opacity to 75%, Angle to 120 degrees, Distance to 10 px, and Size to 10 px.Finally, add a Gradient Overlay style below the Drop Shadow style. Set the Blend Mode to Screen and check both Dither and Reverse options.Then, click on the gradient thumbnail in the Gradient Overlay options and choose a black-to-white gradient from the Gradient Editor dialog box that opens up. Hit OK when you're done.Your shape should now have a glassy appearance:To complete the effect, let's add a reflection beneath our shape layer. First, duplicate your shape layer by pressing Ctrl+J (Windows) / Command+J (Mac). Next, go up to the Edit menu at the top of Photoshop and choose Transform > Flip Vertical:
