Mirror Images Effectively in Your Photos

Mirroring an image refers to the process of creating a mirrored or flipped version of the original image by reflecting it along a central axis. This axis can be either horizontal or vertical. The result is an image that appears as if it were viewed in a mirror. You can also use this technique to reflect an image, like adding the reflection of a mountain in a lake

Frequently Asked Questions

How to mirror an image with Luminar Neo?

Find Crop AI, and then Rotate & Flip. Then click either the Flip Horizontal or the Flip Vertical icon. If you want to add the mirrored image to your original image to create a mirrored effect, simply head to Layers. Duplicate your Layer, flip just one of the images, and combine them on one photo however you like.

Can I mirror just a specific part of my photo instead of the entire image?

Of course! The Layers feature in Luminar Neo makes it very easy to manipulate the position of your image however you like.

What's the difference between flipping and mirroring an image?

Flipping and mirroring are both processes used to change the orientation or direction of an image, but they have different effects on the image's appearance. Flipping an image involves reversing it along a horizontal or vertical axis, essentially turning it over.

Mirroring an image is essentially a specific type of flip where the image is reflected along a central axis, creating a mirror image of the original.

Does mirroring an image affect its quality or resolution?

Mirroring an image typically does not affect its quality or resolution. When you mirror an image, you are essentially reversing it along a central axis, either horizontally or vertically. This transformation does not change the pixel count, size or resolution of the image. The original image and the mirrored version will have the same dimensions and the same number of pixels.
