I found a picture attracted me, it looks like a black and white version of original but much shaper and shinny (see attachement)

 

1. The painting - what is this effect call ? any filter can do the similar effect ?

2. The mockup - Simple but very stereopsis feeling, like a reflection from the painting. Can tell me what effect of this call ?

 

Thanks

 

Stunning Effect

The reflection can be faked with a second instance of the Smart Object (at reduced opacity) and a Gradient (either as a Layer or a Mask).

That looks like the red channel, with a gradient map on top.

 

The effect at the bottom is probably just a drop shadow and reduced opacity.

Thank you, you means use CHANNEL MIXER ? I tried black and white with red channel filter - no like the picture showing

 

Appreciated if you can talk more
