There are many ways to do this but this is how I create that nice mirror effect you see at the end of product images and screenshots.

1. In Snagit, open the image you want to use
2. Copy the image.
3. Hold the handles at the bottom of the canvas and drag down. Increase the size of the canvas (not the image) to 200%. So, you’ve doubled the space available.
4. Paste the image.
5. Drag it down the canvas so it’s just under the top image.
6. Flip it.
7. Align the flipped (i.e. the upside down image) with the one on top.
8. Use Zoom to align.
9. Crop the lower image. Leave only a small edge i.e. what you’re going to make into the nice mirror effect.
9. Select the lower image.
10. Select Effect, Image Processing, Average Blur
11. Select 3.
This should give you a nice mirror effect as you can see in this example.
Let me know how you’d have done it!
