Make a symmetrical mirror photo

The mirror effect copies one half of the photo onto the other, reflected. Faces become perfectly symmetrical, buildings become impossible palaces, and lakes become double skies.

How to make a mirror effect

  1. Choose or drop a photo. It opens with Mirror left to right applied.
  2. Switch Distort to Mirror top to bottom for a reflection across the middle.
  3. Crop afterwards to move the mirror line, then save from Export.

Good to know

  • The mirror line is the center of the photo; crop first so it falls where you want.
  • Architecture and landscapes with a strong vertical subject look the most surreal.
  • For a simple reversed photo, use Flip instead.

Questions

How is this different from flipping?

Flipping reverses the whole photo. Mirroring keeps one half and reflects it onto the other.

Which half is kept?

The left half for left-to-right, and the top half for top-to-bottom.

Can I make a four-way mirror?

Use the Kaleidoscope effect for repeated symmetry.
