Adding Realistic Reflections to Composited Products
A reflection grounds your product on a surface and adds a touch of luxury in the process.
Try It FreeWhy Reflections Matter
A reflection under a product does two things: it anchors the object to the surface physically, and it signals that the surface is premium. Glossy black acrylic, polished wood, and wet concrete all imply quality because they reflect.
Retouchable generates reflections that match the product's geometry, fade naturally with distance, and blur in proportion to the surface glossiness. You get the look of a studio shoot without the studio.
How It Works with Retouchable
Composite Your Product
Place the product on a surface in your target scene.
Enable Reflection Layer
Retouchable generates a mirrored reflection matched to the surface type.
Adjust Glossiness
Fine-tune reflection blur and opacity for matte, satin, or mirror finishes.
5 Rules for Believable Reflections
Fade With Distance
Reflections are strongest where the object meets the surface and fade as they travel away. A flat uniform reflection looks like a sticker.
Match Blur to Surface
A mirror has sharp reflections. Polished wood has slightly blurred ones. Matte surfaces have almost none. Match the blur or it looks wrong.
Cut at the Contact Line
The reflection must start precisely at the bottom edge of the product where it touches the surface. Any gap breaks the illusion.
Darken the Reflection Slightly
Reflections are never as bright as the original object. A subtle reduction in exposure sells the difference between object and mirrored image.
Distort on Curved Surfaces
If the product sits on a curved or textured surface, the reflection should warp with it. A perfectly flat mirror on a curved table reads as fake.
Add Reflections Without a Studio
Drop your product into any scene and get a matched reflection instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the reflection match a polished surface?
Yes. Adjust the glossiness slider to match mirror, satin, or matte finishes.
Can I reflect onto a curved surface?
Yes. The reflection warps to follow the surface's shape.
Does the reflection update if I move the product?
Yes. Repositioning the product regenerates the reflection automatically.
