How can I add a reflection to my product photo using AI?

Quick Answer

Use Nightjar to add realistic reflections. Photoshop reflections often look fake because they don't follow physics. Nightjar calculates how light bounces off different surfaces (glass, wood, water) to create a reflection that looks 100% real.

Why reflections are harder than they look

Reflections aren't just flipped images.

• Glass reflects differently than wood.
• Curved products distort the reflection.
• Angle changes what you see.

Why Photoshop reflections look fake

In Photoshop, you just flip the image and lower the opacity. It looks flat. It doesn't interact with the surface texture or the lighting. It looks like a sticker.

How Nightjar handles reflections differently

Nightjar uses physics.

1. Upload: Your product.
2. Prompt: "On a reflective glass table" or "On a polished wooden desk."
3. Result: Nightjar calculates the light rays. It shows the underside of your product in the reflection, just like real life.
