How do I create a mirror or reverse version of a photo?
Edits - Corrected the presentation order of the first set of examples.
Paint
If you are running a recent version of Windows, you can use Paint.
- Open the Image.jpg file in Paint
- Click Image > Rotate > Flip Horizontal
- Save the flipped image under a new name
- Print the new image
Flip_Image_1
Flip_Image_2
Flip_Image_3
and / or
Irfanview provides a free program that can be used for a variety of scan and print tasks, including the “Mirror” or horizontal flip function.
- Create a Restore Point (optional, recommended)
- Download the appropriate version (32bit or 64bit) of the program from the Website and install the program
- Additional information at the website, including: FAQ
Once installed, open the software > tab Help
Example help entry:
Vertical/Horizontal Flip
- Click on the Image Menu, then Vertical Flip. The image will turn upside-down. The left/right orientation will stay the same.
- Click on the Image Menu, then Horizontal Flip. The image will turn side-to-side, as in a mirror.
Note: The effect can be used on a smaller portion (rectangle selection) of an image, as well as the entire image.
