Uh, no. Think of that person in the mirror as someone else for a bit and forget the mirror is even there. If you were raising your right hand, then that person would be raising his left hand. Maybe it'd be even clearer if you stood across from someone and both raised your right hands. You'd find the other person's hand would be on your left side. Mirrors flip left and right. Always have, always will. Any text held up to a mirror would come out the same was as were it flipped. Take a flipped image, hold it up to a mirror and you can see what the image was like before the flipping. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I want to put a graphic on the other side of a banner and flipping it makes the letters backwards. A mirror image would make them the right way around after flipping. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but a flip and a mirror are exactly the same. To demonstrate, write something on a piece of paper, stand in front of a mirror and look at the piece of paper while you hold it up. This is the mirror, obviously. Now flip the piece of paper and hold it up against the light. Same thing.

Can anyone tell me please if there is an opton to mirror an image rather than just flipping it. I want to put a graphic on the other side of a banner and flipping it makes the letters backwards. A mirror image would make them the right way around after flipping.
