Why Mirror an Image?

Mirroring an image is the process of flipping a photo either horizontally or vertically. For example, people often use the mirroring effect to flip text to make it more readable in a picture. You can also use mirroring to improve an image’s aesthetic or help a photo match the goals of a design project. As another example, what if a model is supposed to look to their left, but they’re glancing to the right in all images? Mirroring the image fixes the problem without the need for reshoots. The mirror effect also creates surreal imagery, such as a picture of someone looking at another version of themselves or the illusion of two objects being completely identical to one another within the same image.
