Sometimes to create a beautiful image requires processing using different editors. If there are no programs at hand or you do not know how to use them, then the 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 the photo processing is the effect of a mirror or reflection. That is, the picture is split and combined, making the illusion that there is a double, 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 ways to work with them.
Method 1: Imgonline
Online IMGONLINE service is fully dedicated to working with images. It is present on it as the functions of the image extensions converter and changing the size of the photo, and a huge number of photo processing methods, which makes this site an excellent choice for the user.
In order to process your image, do the following:
Method 2: REFLECTIONMAKER
From the title of this site immediately becomes clear for which it was created. Online service is fully focused on creating "mirror" photos and no longer has any functional. One more of the minuses is that this interface is completely in English, but it will be not so difficult to understand it, since the number of functions for focusing the image is minimal.
To mirror the image of the image you are interested in, follow these steps:
Method 3: MirReffect
Like the previous one, this online service is created only for one purpose - the creation of repeated images and also has very few features, but compared with the previous site, it has a choice of reflection side. It is also completely directed to a foreign user, but it is not difficult to understand the interface.
To generate an image with reflection, you must perform the following:
So simple, with the help of online services, the user will be able to create the effect of reflection in his own photo, filling it with new paints and meanings, and most importantly is very easy and convenient. All sites have a rather minimalistic design, which goes only in Plus, and english On some of them, it does not hurt to process the image as the user wants.
1 voteGood day, dear readers. Today I will tell you about a simple tool that is necessarily useful to any web designer: to create a lending or if you create an online store, to improve pictures in the product card.
I will show how to make a mirror image. First, using two buttons to simply deploy a drawing, and then a professional way to reflect the object as if it is in a mirror or on a glass table.
Let's proceed?
Two buttons for mirror effect
So this method works regardless of which version Photoshop. You use, CS6, CS5 and even in online version. I work in CC.
After 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 on the lock to the right of the layer sketch.
Now press the Ctrl + T key combination.
Right-click in any free place Dedicated fragment. An additional menu will open with a plurality of functions for rotation: vertically, 180, 90 degrees. Now you choose to "reflect horizontal".
Finish, you turned the image mirror. If you have any logos or mention of trademarks and you do not want the readers to see them, then this is an easy way to complicate the task. On many TV channels now apply it.
If you do not like to use the key combination, you can select "Editing", then "transform" and "reflect horizontally" in the top panel.
Well, that's all, with simple method Understood. It is time to do something beautiful. By the end of the second part of this lesson, you will have an attractive image that can be inserted as a design element or simply as an illustration for a product card.
Effect of mirrors
First of all, you need to prepare the background. As a rule, professionals work with light and black to see the result in different gammes. To do this, you have to learn how to work with gradients ,. If problems arise - read my detailed step-by-step instructions.
Create a layer, then under the "Pilot" tool, find the gradient and fill the layer radially in dark colors. Can use from color #655959 before # 3F3535.
Now you need to create another layer with 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 SHIFT + CTRL + N key combination. By the way, I recommend you to make a notebook, where you will record all the hotkeys. In Photoshop, there are many of them, but they greatly facilitate work.
First time you can record the keys that you use each time. Suppose they forgotten - looked and recorded again. I managed to remember yourself - honor, praise and the handle does not need to look. At one time I studied in this way English. Helps. You are sitting until the last, until you remember without tips, so as not to write one hundred times the same thing.
Top layer fill in bright colors from # CDC6C6 before # 948D8D..
Slightly reduce the drawing. So that it shrink proportionally while leads the mouse to clamp shift on the keyboard. After you finish, apply the changes by clicking Enter.
On the sketch of the layer, right-click and call the additional menu in which to select the "Rastrier layer" function.
In the same menu, click also "create a duplicate layer duplicate" or use the Ctrl + J button combination.
Now you need to press Ctrl + T, "Transformation", and inside the object right-click, as I described in the previous paragraph. Select the "Reflect vertical" function.
Drag the new layer down, it can be done in the current state. Or press ENTER to complete with the transformation, select the "Move" tool (intersecting arrows) and pull the new layer down.
Add. Rectangle with a circle inside. I described this feature in detail. She resembles an eraser something: erases objects or makes them transparent.
Now you will need a gradient again. From black to white, but this time is a mirror (in the screenshot indicated 3).
Drive 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 a gradient, white frame Must be on the mask-layer, the one that is located to the right of the sketch. Click two times and you can adjust the density, reflect transparent.
Now you need to blur a little object, since the "clean" reflection in nature does not exist. Press the sketch of the layer itself to apply editing to it. In my case, depicting an apple. Next, go to the "Filters" tab - "Blur" - "Blur in Gauss".
Set 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 layer with a light gradient by clicking on the eye next to it, and see how the photo will look on the dark. It remains only to choose the best option.

A task
Reflect image horizontally or vertical.
Decision
To reflect an image or other element, including textual, the Transform property and the scale () function with a negative value is applied. Options are:
- tRANSFORM: scale (-1, 1) - reflection horizontally;
- transform: scale (1, -1) - reflection vertically;
- transform: Scale (-1, -1) - simultaneous reflection horizontally and vertical.
There are also separate SCAlex () and Scaley () functions, they are responsible for scaling according to the relevant coordinates.
Although the scale () function is designed to change the scale of the element, the negative value also allows you to reflect. In Example 1, the usual image is added, and then it is also reflected vertically. For this K. Added class named Mirrory.
Example 1. Reflection Photos
The result of this example is shown in Fig. one.
Often, when making an image, it becomes necessary to reflect the picture or text. You can do this in several ways that will not take a long time.
Why do you need a function of a mirror reflection
Suppose you need to make a beautiful composition for any site, where a pretty girl will reflect in the mirror against the background of nature. Or you just need to make a mirror image of the picture downloaded from any site so that it is not very similar to the original image. Or the photo was not very good, but if it is mirroring, it will be better.
It is far from full list The reasons why make a mirror reflection. Even if this function is not needed, it does not mean that it will not need it tomorrow. You can mirror the picture in any editor and in almost every program to view images. This is done very simple: you need to open the editor or program, to find the "Mirror reflection" or "reflect" (horizontally or vertically choose as needed), after which the photo will go to the state you need. The only difficulty is that this feature in various programs is in different places, so consider the most popular utilities for viewing and editing graphic files For this feature.
Viewers
Almost all viewers of graphic files have a function of mirror reflection. In addition to the built-in Utility "View photos of Windows", which does not have such an opportunity.
Microsoft Office Pictures Manager
This viewer is included in the package. microsoft programs Office. It has a small set of functions: remove the red eyes, correct the brightness and contrast, circumcision and mirror reflection. You can reflect the mirrored as follows: Run the utility and open the photo (or open a photo using the patterns manager), in the top tool manager, click on the "drawing", where you choose "turn and reflect" from the drop-down list. Now in the panel on the right, we determine exactly how to reflect, and we save.
Faststone Image Viewer.
A fairly powerful viewer of graphic elements, which has a mass of different functions and effects, among them "mirror reflection". We go in two ways:
- open the utility and find the desired image in the file tree;
- open photos using this program directly.
Now click on the right mouse button anywhere in the picture, we find the item "Change" and choose "flip horizontally" (vertically).
Paint.
Everyone known since the small years, the drawing can also turn the drawing. The procedure for the point is the same as with other programs: We start the drawing and open the picture (you can drag) or open "with help." Now on the top of the toolbar, we find a badge with two triangles and a rotating arrow (located next to the "Highlight" function). Click on triangles and click on "reflect horizontal" or "reflect vertical".
Using the Adobe Photography Editor Adobe Photoshop
Photoshop is perhaps the most famous graphic editor. All thanks to its impressive functions to edit and create graphic files. Of course, reflect this utility will be able to photo without problems.
Open Picture S. using photoshop, go to the "Image" tab. In the list that appears, we find the item "Rotate canvas". We bring on it and see how another list arises, in which you need to click "reflect the canvas horizontally", or "reflect the canvas vertically".
Reflect the text
In addition to reflecting the picture, many text and graphic editors are capable of a mirror reflection of the text. We will not consider all programs, let's stop at the most popular - Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop.
Mirrorly reflect the text in the "Word" as follows. We open the document and go to the "Insert" tab in the top of the toolbar. Here we find the "WordArt" tool, click on it and choose the template you like. Next, we write the desired text. Now we have two ways, how to reflect what is written:
- click on the text, as a result of which dots appear around it to resize. We clamp one such point that is in the middle from either side, and drag in the opposite direction;
- click on the text, after which the "Format" tab, highlighted by a specific color and signed "Working with Wordart objects appears in the toolbar. Go to it and find the "Rotate" tool (with the image of two triangles with an arrow).
Adobe Photoshop.
We act as well as with the image. But first you need to write text. In the tools panel, press the "T" button (or combination SHIFT + T), click on the sheet with the cursor and type the text. After you go to the "Image" tab, the "image rotation" and "reflect canvas". But before making a mirror reflection written, it is necessary that this particular layer is allocated, otherwise something else will be reflected.
