This is very "who really cares?" of me, but I notice on the PS splash screen the reflection of the mountain range is correct, but the relfection of the sky/clouds is incorrect. Anyone agree?

Nope. Look closer. It's done on purpose. They've "reversed reality" for that image. (it is after all the PS splash screen). They've put the sky and clouds down where you would expect to see water and the water ripple texture up into the sky. It's a subtle but effective effect. Not sure if youre on a Mac or not but if you are, for fun hold down the Apple key and go to about Photoshop in the Apple pull down for the "alternate", "Liquid Sky" splash screen. (if you haven't already). They do this type of stuff all the time. In Illustrator 10 if you do it (this time with the option button) you get the very primitave splash for Illustrator 1.1. I don't know how to access either of those on the Win version but someone else probably does.

Hmm...... I can't believe I didn't notice the reversal. Time for a trip to the optomotrist, me thinks!
