Step 1:

Create New Document in Photoshop, and fill the background with i.e. #222222 color. Import iMac image in this document.

Duplicate iMac image, and go to Edit -> Transform -> Flip Vertical. Shift duplicated layer few pixels down.

Step 2:

Choose Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and make a selection.

Now, go to Select -> Modify -> Feather (Shift + F6) and type 30px or more. You should have a selection similar to the one shown in the image.

Press the backspace key a few times until you are satisfied. This will create a nice faded reflection.

Step 3:

Lower the Opacity of duplicated layer to around 50-60%.

That’s it!
We create nice faded reflection in 3 simple steps in less then 3 minutes.
