And here's the deal: The Vanishing Point filter simply does NOT anti-alias edges on a rotated object (at least not in CS2)... leaving some nasty jagged edges depending on how you rotate your card (also depending on the color of the card--it's not so noticeable in this tutorial's dark example, but very noticeable if you use a white business card). But there's an elegant solution to this: After placing each business card image in the Vanishing Point filter, add a vector mask to the resulting layer. Use the Pen tool (in path mode) to plot the corner points of a card (a little bit inside the lines), then select its layer and choose Add vector mask. (Use the Direct Selection tool to adjust the mask, if needed.) If done right, the jagged edges will be cut off by the mask, and the result will appear nicely aliased, esp. if viewed at 100%.

I was dropping in a white business card in GIF format (pretty lo-res, now that I think about it). Did higher resolution do the trick? I tried selecting the layer content, then using Select>Modify>Border (e.g., 5px) to create a selection along the edge, and then applying Gaussian Blur (e.g., 1.2px) to the selection. But this was only modestly successful. Dano (and Rob),

I apply a very fine drop shadow duplictae the layer and motion blur them to get the reflection effect like most timber floor reflection. Nice tut, I skip few steps.
