Please read! Item description:
Photo Studio Black is a big room that only has a floor. The floor is black and semi-transparent. Subtle gray ambient shadow.
Photo Studio White is the same as Studio Black, only the floor is white and it has no shadow.
Photo Studio W Dome is an add-on for the Studio White; a giant white dome which will encircle the floor and hide the black surroundings.
Photo Gradient 1 is a flat vertical screen. Its texture is horizontally divided into two parts, the lower should be dragged below the floor line.
Photo B/W BG Filler is also a flat vertical screen, half the size, one quarter tinted black and the other tinted white. Use it to cover the Gradient in order to make the editing of the "reflection" easier. See the tutorial below.

Photo Shadow Studio is a multi level platform room, has total 27 platforms each in different position to the light source, giving different shadow effects on your avatar. The surrounding is black (but can be white if you place the White Dome in it) and platforms are in shades of gray.
Photo Camera&Lights is an equipment set, it matches the bundle but is not included because it is AP. You may buy it separately, but it doesn't really have a purpose.

In this tutorial I used the Black room, Gradient and B/W fill. I assume you already know how to resize and slide furniture using CTRL and Shift keys. Knowing how to use a better image editing program is also implied.
PIC 1 -
To make editing easier, avoid animated poses and clothing items that are semi-transparent, as such items may disappear when viewed from behind another semi-transparent surface (in this case, the floor and the leg tattoo).
Take a snapshot. You can do this by typing *hiResSnap and a high quality snapshot will automatically be saved to your desktop.
(I would also suggest taking another snapshot without moving the camera angle, with the solid white fill covering the gradient, this will make the later editing/brushing/smoothening avi's edges easier.)
PIC 2 -
Duplicate the standing node and turn it upside down. (When in the edit mode, lock the Gradient and the first standing node you used.) If the pose is not horizontally symmetrical, you will have to additionally rotate the node or change the camera angle to get an upside-down horizontal mirror reflection. Place the solid B/W fill so that it covers the gradient (black part of the fill for the Black room, white part for the White room). Take a snapshot.
PIC 3 -
Now we switch to the image editing program. PIC 2 is placed on top of PIC 1 and is flipped horizontally. It has layer blending option Lighten (if you're using the White room, it should have layer blending option Multiply). Positioning the camera angle/standing node in PIC 2 is essential, the more the two pics correspond, the less editing you'll have to do! Take the 2nd pic a few more times if necessary.
Editing basically comes down to erasing PIC 2 in parts where the avatar is overlapping with the avatar in PIC 1.
PIC 4 -
Flipping PIC 1 vertically is a good solution for 2D objects, but not for 3D.
You can make them in 1 shot with no editing.
I hope you find this bundle useful! ^^
