How can I get a mirror image in iPhoto?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Preview can do that - as can PhotoShop Elements and many other photos editors

How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

By using an external editor. Preview is already on your Mac. It's called 'Flip Horizontal'
In order of price here are some other suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How do I get a mirror image of a photo when using aperture?

can someone explain this i am new to aperture and mac for that matter!!!

You may be able to modify the EXIF data. I don't know quite how Aperture will behave, but Preview works fine.
So, if you have [exiftool|http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool> (which can be a scary proposition if you're not familiar with the Terminal), you can modify the tags in picture headers. One tag, called "Orientation" (See [http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/EXIF.html]) tells your image viewer how to interpret the pixel data in the picture. You can change that tag to "Mirror Horizontal" instead of "Horizontal (normal)" and see what happens. This tells any good image viewer to decode the pixel data in the picture, but do it so the left of the picture in the file is on the right when you display it.
You should do this to picture not managed by Aperture, and then import the picture into Aperture.
So, after installing exiftool, do the following at a Terminal:
exiftool -Orientation='Mirror Horizontal' file1 file2 ... file_n
Where the file1... part is a list of picture files that you want to flip.
I just tried that with a picture on my desktop, and Preview opened it just fine and had it as a horizontal mirror image. I didn't import it into Aperture (Since it's already there as the correct image), but you may want to experiment with this until there's a built-in feature.

HT201343 how can i get airplay mirroring

My mac is MACBOOK PRO 15-INCH and how can i get airplay mirroring. It is 2010

You can't. It doesn't have the necessary hardware.
Here is the min requirements:
AirPlay Mirroring
Requires a second-generation Apple TV or later. Supports the following Mac models:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)

I have MAC OS X 10.6.8 (up-to-date). How can I get screen mirroring to my Apple TV to work? The icon does not appear at top status bar..

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air, and OS X Mountain Lion.
As you have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you haven't got a compatible MacBook Air, so you can't use AirPlay Mirroring. However, you can use a third-party app as AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto your Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com

How can I get AirPlay mirroring to fill widescreen? It works automatically for apps built for apple tv, but not Hulu Plus, for example, which letterboxes.

Airplay mirroring works great for apps (mostly video-related ones) with native Apple TV support, but for other apps - most notably Hulu Plus, it will only show letterbox on my 16:9 plasma TV. Again, my movies, tv shows and in-app videos like in CNN where there's a built-in AirPlay support will fill my widescreen, but apps that don't (Hulu Plus, games, photos) will not. Do I have to change the aspect ratio on the tv to 4:3? Will changing the resolution help.
How can I get mirroring to fill the entire tv screen, regardless of the app? Thanks.

Guys. Let's not get confused here.
-AirPlay mirroring feature 'mirrors' what's on your iPad 2 or above or your iPhone 4s on to your big TV via the Apple TV black box.
-Video apps that stream video (like native YouTube app) uses AirPlay which is different to mirroring.
-When you use the 'mirror' feature you get black bars all around (left/right & top/bottom)
-There are Games that use the full screen via the AirPlay mirroring feature and there are games that don't. It depends on the Game. For example download Asphalt 7:Heat and you'll notice you get widescreen display on the big TV but if you play Batman or Max Payne or others that don't support AirPlay mirroring then it you get black bars left and right.
-What's neat about the AirPlay mirror feature is that when you play Asphalt 7 with 'mirroring' set to on, the race is shown on the TV while your iPad shows something completely different (the route in real time with your rear view mirror)
-The Apple iPhoto app on your iPhone 4s or iPad 2/3 with AirPlay mirroring feature on you get a different experience. All of a sudden it goes full screen, and you are presented with their iPhoto logo.
-Those who have the first generation iPad don't have mirroring capabilities so the Asphalt 7:Heat games feature aren't available or the iPhoto app features. With iPad 1 you can only stream video or music or image slideshow (which all stream full screen). iPad 2 and iPad 3 can also do this but with the added benefit of 'mirorring' what is displayed on the iPad screen. Some apps take advantage of this, some don't.
There are no special setting on Apple TV to get rid of the black bars. You may be able to change the zoom settings on your actual big TV.
Hopefully this will clear this all up. I have the iPad 1 and recently upgraded to the new iPad 3. I also have an iPhone 4s. Same issues.
I don't think the AirPlay 'mirror' feature has developed fully yet. It has it's limitations but also has its advantages.

How can I get an ucropped image in a Custom Package when using Stroke and/or Border??

How can I get a picture in a Custom Package that has a Stroke and/or a border and get the image shown fully, and not cropped in one way or other?
When I add the stroke/border it adds them inside the cell, thereby altering the ratio of the area for the picture inside it, which crops it in some way. How can I get the image to be uncropped? The controls available seem to all be for the ration of the outside of the cell, but my image is inside the stroke/border and nothing seems to work on it directly ...
Many thanks,
Gary

Perhaps I misunderstood your requirement. I have been frustrated by LR print module and labs effectively squeezing individual shots into existing frames. So I have used LR2Mogrify to export (and then re-import) a 'new image' which manages the discrepancy between a crop and a cell of a different aspect ratio by adding padding - usually 'white' - around the image to a canvas corresponding to cell dimensions. Adding stroke borders can be accomplished in Mogrify inside or outside the image. A custom package, with multiple cell dimensions can be populated with images created in the corresponding aspect ratio(s) for the relevant cells.
I'm not aware of a way of automating the creation of cells in a page to dimensions which change with the crop as discovered - drag and drop images onto a blank page creates cells of the same standard size.

How do you create a mirror image of a photo?

Am I just completely missing something or can this not be done unless you make a card or something?? I can see how to rotate and adjust how the picture looks but can't suss out how to simply create a flipped or mirror image of a photo...
Anyone got any quick tips to share?
THANKS

How can I get my HP 6515 to print photos

How do I get my HP 6515 to print photos on standard paper from the standard bottom tray (8 1/2 x 10). I keep getting messages that my photo tray needs paper, I don't want to use that tray. Thanks.

Hi there,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system and what program are we printing from?
You can say thanks by clicking the Kudos Star in my post. If my post resolves your problem, please mark it as Accepted Solution so others can benefit too.

How can I get the camera type of a photo?

I want to select photos according to camera type using AplleScript.

This is what Larry is referring to. Pick your camera from those in the list:

How to I get a mirror image of a 3D extrude and Bevel image?

I created a ribbon using the extrude and bevel effect and then mapping it with a custom symbol. I copied the image and then tried to get a matching image on the flipside to mirror it but cannot seem to figure it out. Is there a way to somehow flip the orientation of the image? I tried using transform and then reflect and it does not do anything. I tried to do it manually in mapping and flipping the box upside down and in reverse but it just doesn't seem result in the a reflective image. Any ideas on this? Attached are the two images I am trying to get to reflect each other. Thanks

It works so it is you who have perhaps a blind spot you have to select reflect X and move the object horizontally just look at my settings and the video.
If you do not see a difference than what I have done and what Scott has suggested than what you actually did then he problem is something entirely different.
Here is a video you can go wrong if you follow it.

How can I get the part image from a rectangle region?

hi,
I'm trying to draw a rectagle region on a picture with mouse and crop it. but the rectangle is not vertical along x-axis.that is to say, there is a angle between x-axis and the base of the rectangle. I don't know , how can I do it. Can someone give me some tip or some java-code. Thank you very much in advance.

I completely misunderstood your question. As I read it again it seems clear and straight-forward. I'm sorry. Let's see if this is closer.

How can I get a .jpeg image from my video image?

I want to take an image I captured on film, and turn one frame into a .jpeg file so I can use it in Photoshop. I've created a freeze frame by hitting SHIFT+N .... but now how can I use this image elsewhere? Or is there another way?

What I always do is go to File> Export Using Quicktime Conversion> then on the bottom change the "Format" option to "Still Image" and change the "Use" option to whatever you like. (JPG, BMP, etc.)
Just make sure your on the frame you would like to export.
There might be a better way but this hopefully helps.

Now that Mobile Me is gone, how can i get my iPhoto images to run as my screen saver in Apple TV?

Since the demile of Mobile Me my Photos screen saver on Apple TV gives me the options of Neo Geo, Amimals, Flowers, Flickr, Photo Stream and Album Artwork. Can i get my iPhoto albums to reappear somehow?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Share your photos in iPhoto with the Apple TV using the Advanced menu in iTunes, then select the album of your choice to use as a screensaver in the screensaver settings on the Apple TV.
