Thanks for your help, you guys.  This works perfectly.  Just what I wanted. 
You're right tho, not near as pretty as in real life :-)

[Gimp-user] Mirror Image

2010-02-17 Thread Sandi P.
I have a photograph with a person cut exactly in half vertically.  How can I
recreate that person whole?  I want to flip the original horizontally, make a
copy, and then stitch that flipped copy onto the original. Can anyone give me
the process steps for accomplishing this?  Thanks!!!

- Load the image into Gimp.
- Double the horizontal canvas size (in the Image menu)
- Right click the image layer in the layer dock, select duplicate layer.
- With the move tool, position the new layer right of the original.
- Now right click on the layer, choose layer / transformation / flip -.
- Finally, use image / flatten image to rejoin the layers.

And have in mind that this will not be the same person in any way! 
Nobody is perfectly symmetrical (try this with your own photo) :( Even 
the most beautiful of us ;)

Greetings,

I don't know about that... I'm extremely beautiful.

I'd do the same procedure, but change one of the steps.

1. Cut your person in half.  Keep the selection active.

2. EditCopy, then Editpaste as new (to keep your original preserved.

3. Close the original so as not to do anything unexpected with it.

4. In the newly created canvase, duplicate the copied layer, but don't flip it 
just yet.

5. Now make your canvas 200% bigger in the width (you will need to break the 
little chain icon to the right of the size inputs to do this.  Also, choose 
percent, rather than pixels -- this is in the ImageCanvas Size menu).

6.  On your copied, flipped layer, Do layerLayer to image size.

7. Do Layer,TransformFlip horizontal.

8. Right click on the layer in the layers dialog and pick  Merge down.

With this method, you don't have to try to move the flipped layer to match it 
up with the unflipped one.  You can also use this method, with one extra flip 
before enlarging the canvas, to make nifty CSS rollover buttons.

[Gimp-user] Mirror Image of text

2006-12-17 Thread Christopher Burkhart
What I did to solve a problem similar to this (need a vending machine to 
face the opposite way).  I flipped the machine to create a mirror image, 
and so of course the text was backward on the face of the machine, I 
then selected the texted by it-self and reflipped it back to the 
original direction, had to tweak it a little but it looks fine.  I can 
send it to you as before/after if you would to like an example.
