Task

Flip the image horizontally or vertically.

Solution

To reflect an image or other element, including text, use the transform property and the scale() function with a negative value. The options are:

• transform: scale(-1, 1) - horizontal reflection;
• transform: scale(1, -1) - vertical reflection;
• transform: scale(-1, -1) - simultaneous reflection horizontally and vertically.

There are also separate functions scaleX() and scaleY() , they are responsible for scaling according to the corresponding coordinates.

Although the scale() function is intended to change the scale of an element, a negative value also allows for reflection. In example 1, a regular image is added, and then the same image is added, but reflected vertically. To do this, to a class named mirrorY is added.

Example 1: Reflection of a photograph

Result this example shown in Fig. 1.

The main thing is to specify the picture on your computer or phone, if necessary, specify the type of mirror image, and click OK at the bottom. The rest of the settings are already set to default.

Examples with mirrored photographs:

The first example above is the original photo of a yellow cucumber flower, that is, without modifications. To create the second example, a horizontal mirror image was used (from left to right), and for the third example, a vertical mirror image was used. Photo of Kodak battery was reflected standard method- horizontally.

The online tool can work without re-compression and without loss of quality when saved in jpg format. To do this, you need to check the appropriate box in the “output image format” settings.

The use of mirror reflection will not only allow you to correctly correct the position of a photograph or picture, but will also allow you to look at it in a new way. Try it and see for yourself! This site also has similar effects: mirror collage, mirror reflection under the picture and the looking glass effect.

The original image is not changed in any way. You will be provided with another processed image.

Sometimes to create beautiful image requires processing using various editors. If you don’t have any programs at hand or you don’t know how to use them, then online services have long been able to do everything for you. In this article we will talk about one of the effects that can decorate your photo and make it special.

One of the features of photo processing is the mirror or reflection effect. That is, the photograph doubles and combines, creating the illusion that there is a double standing nearby, or reflections, as if the object is reflected in glass or a mirror that is not visible. Below are three online services for processing photos in a mirror style and how to work with them.

Method 1: IMGOnline

The IMGOnline online service is entirely dedicated to working with images. It contains both image extension converter functions, photo resizing, and a huge number of photo processing methods, which makes this site an excellent choice for the user.

To process your image, do the following:

Method 2: ReflectionMaker

From the name of this site it immediately becomes clear why it was created. The online service is completely focused on creating “mirror” photos and no longer has any functionality. Another disadvantage is that this interface is entirely in English, but understanding it will not be so difficult, since the number of functions for mirroring an image is minimal.

To mirror the image you are interested in, follow these steps:

Method 3: MirrorEffect

Like the previous one, this online service is created for only one purpose - creating mirrored images and also has very few functions, but compared to the previous site, it has a choice of the side of reflection. It is also completely aimed at foreign users, but understanding the interface will not be difficult.

To generate an image with reflection, you need to do the following:

Just like that, with the help of online services, the user can create a reflection effect in his photo, filling it with new colors and meanings, and most importantly, it is very easy and convenient. All sites have a fairly minimalistic design, which is only a plus for them, and English language On some of them, it won’t hurt to process the image the way the user wants.

Good day, dear readers. Today I will tell you about a simple tool, which is sure to be useful to any web designer: to create a landing page or, if you are creating an online store, to improve the pictures in the product card.

I'll show you how to make an image mirror. First, using two buttons to simply unfold the design, and then a professional way to reflect the object as if it were in a mirror or on a glass table.

Shall we get started?

Two buttons for mirror effect

So, this method works no matter what version of Photoshop you are using, CS6, CS5 and even online versions. I work at CC.

Once you open a photo in Photoshop, you need to unlock it for editing. Without this, you will not be able to use most functions. Click the lock to the right of the layer thumbnail.

Now press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T.

Right click anywhere free space selected fragment. An additional menu will open with many functions for rotation: vertically, 180, 90 degrees. Now you select "Flip Horizontal".

Done, you have flipped the image as a mirror image. If there are any logos or mention on your photo brands and you don't want readers to see them, this is an easy way to complicate things. Many TV channels now use it.

If you don’t like using the keyboard shortcut, you can select “Editing” in the top panel, then “Transform” and “Flip Horizontal”.

Well that's all, with simple method figured it out. It's time to make something beautiful. By the end of the second part of this tutorial, you will have an attractive image that can be inserted as a design element or simply as an illustration for a product card in .

Mirror effect

The first step is to prepare the background. As a rule, professionals work with light and black to see the result in different colors. To do this, you will have to learn how to work with gradients. If problems arise, read my detailed step by step instructions.

Create a layer, then under the Fill tool find a gradient and fill the layer radially in dark colors. Can be used depending on color #655959 before #3f3535.

Now you need to create another layer with a light color. Click on the icon next to the basket. Or in the “Layer” tab of the top menu, select “Create a new layer”.

You can use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+N. By the way, I recommend that you keep a notebook where you will write down all the hot keys. There are a lot of them in Photoshop, but they make your work much easier.

At first, you can write down the keyboard shortcuts that you use each time. Suppose you forgot - looked and wrote it down again. I managed to remember on my own - there is no need to look for honor, praise and a pen. At one time I studied English this way. Helps. You sit until the last minute until you remember without prompting, so as not to write the same thing a hundred times.

Fill the top layer in light colors from #cdc6c6 before #948d8d.

Make the drawing a little smaller. To make it shrink proportionally, while you move the mouse, hold down shift on the keyboard. Once finished, apply the changes by pressing Enter.

Right-click on the layer thumbnail and bring up an additional menu, in which select the “Rasterize Layer” function.

In the same menu, also click on “Create a duplicate layer” or use the Ctrl+J button combination.

Now you need to press Ctrl+T, “Transform”, and right-click inside the object, as I described in the previous paragraph. Select the Flip Vertical option.

Drag the new layer down; this can be done in its current state. Alternatively, press Enter to finish the transformation, select the Move Tool (overlapping arrows) and drag the new layer down.

Add . A rectangle with a circle inside. I have already described this function in detail. It is somewhat reminiscent of an eraser: it erases objects or makes them transparent.

Now you'll need a gradient again. From black to white, but this time mirrored (indicated by number 3 in the screenshot).

Draw a line somewhere from the middle of the object from the first visible layer to the end of the “reflection”, as shown in the figure.

Be careful when you apply the gradient that the white border should be on the layer mask, the one to the right of the sketch. Double-click on it and you can adjust the density and make the reflection transparent.

Now we need to blur the object a little, since there is no “pure” reflection in nature. Click on the layer's thumbnail to apply the edit specifically to it. In my case with the image of an apple. Next, go to the “Filters” – “Blur” – “Gaussian Blur” tab.

Adjust the radius as you like. It all depends on the resolution of the source. In my case 5 is perfect.

You can remove the visibility of the light gradient layer by clicking on the eye next to it, and see how the photo will look on the dark one. All that remains is to choose the best option.

OK it's all over Now. If you liked this tutorial, subscribe to the newsletter and learn more about the world of Photoshop. Now you can create very beautiful pictures yourself. Well, if you don’t have time to wait, I can recommend the course “ Photoshop lessons improving skills " In it you will find a whole collection of professional techniques and methods.
