Mirror image effect

Hey, I'm not a real Mac user, but I was trying to help a friend with his website that he created through iWeb. On every page he had one image in which approximately the bottom third of the image was mirrored (upside-side) underneath the picture. However, one one particular page, the effect wasn't working--I've tried this in several browsers and can't figure out what the problem with the image is.
At first I thought it had something to do with PNG transparency support in current browsers (it seems that he started out using JPEG, and then iWeb changed it to PNG to do the effect). However, then he pointed out that the effect was working in all the other pages' images.
So, I'm wondering if maybe we just need to figure out how to insert the image again with that effect. The problem is, I think he did the image effects during a wizard when he was initially creating the images, and now I'm wondering how to insert a new image and apply that effect to it. I've explored all the images up at the top, but I've been unsuccessful so far in doing that or browsing the help or searching online (probably doesn't help that I'm not used to OS X).
Any ideas? Thanks...

Some of the templates in iWeb use the "reflection" effect by default. If you have other images to which you would like to add this reflection effect, all you have to do is to select the image object by clicking on it, then in the Shape tab of the inspector there is a box and slider bar to enable the reflection effect and vary it to your liking.
If this information is useful to you, please consider marking my reply as either "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons in the title bar of this reply. Thanks.

  • Need help with a mirror image effect

    For most of our product photos, I create a copy of the image, flip it vertically, fade it out, and then move it down to create a mirror image effect. Simple enough. But this one I'm having a problem. The product has 4 legs, and from this view, the back 2 legs are shorter. When I do my normal steps that I listed, I get similar to what you see below. I know all about drawing a marquee around part of the reflection, hitting Ctrl+T and then holding down Ctrl+Shift to skew just what's in the marquee. I've done this technique a lot, but it does not work for this particular image. What do I have to do to get the reflection of the back legs to line up with the actual back legs in the image? Thanks.

    Well, Photoshop is not a 3D rendering program and you can only fake it by painting or assembling the reflection using your artistic skills and knowledge of perspective and reflections. From certain angles and with certain objects this could be quite easily done by just mirroring the 2D image but in other cases like  this it wont' work. I made a quick scene in a 3D program to show you how the refection will actually be in real life - you will see the bottom of the table in the reflection and this is missing from the 2D image. You can assemble and position separately parts of the reflection from the 2D image by using the front sides of the table and and legs but the rest (bottom) of table has to be created from scratch.

  • How do you create a mirror image effect on imovie 2014?

    All the tutorials online show how to create a mirror image effect on imovie 2011, however there are none showing how to do it on the current version.

    You can't do this in iPhoto.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Preview, already on your Mac.
    Seashore (free)
    _[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    [Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
    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 print as a "reverse or mirror image" on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 model # N911a

    How do I  print as a "reverse or mirror image" on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 model # N911a

    I have spent hours figuring out how to print a t-shirt transfer since my new HP printer doesn't seem to allow for mirror image printing (yet my old HP printer easily let me select this feature).   Here's what worked for me, using Word 2010:
    Create the text and insert any images  into the document as you normally would.
    Go to Insert / WordArt and chose a style of lettering (I don’t think it matters what you choose since you will be cutting and pasting the data from 1 above).   A text box will appear and a new "double-decker" tab will appear at the right (Drawing Tools on top and Format below).
    Copy what you created in step 1 and paste it into the text box.
    Click on the Format tab (the cursor must be inside the text box for the Format tab to be visible).
    Choose Text Effects / 3-D Options and then 3-D Rotation Options.  A dialogue box will open.  For the X value, enter 180.  Do not enter anything for the other values.  Your image should have rotated to mirror image.
    Click Close and save your document.
    You should now be able to print your document as usual.
    Good luck!

  • RTL text written in 'mirror image' in Dreamweaver CC - semi solution found

    I have Adobe CC, which is set on English with Hebrew support. I downloaded InDesign and Photoshop under this setting, and they work perfectly well in Hebrew.
    I'm trying to build a site in Hebrew, but whatever I write inside DW *code editing* is shown in a mirror image: It's equivalent to writing "this is a book" and getting "book a is this" (curiously, this doesn't effect on the characters inside the words themselves; 'book' will still show as 'book'). The live preview and the checks on various browsers display the Hebrew properly - this isn't a problem with the code (which already contains '<html lang="he">' and 'body {      direction: rtl;    }'), but rather how DW CC the program displays the text.
    Is there a solution for this that does not involve me learning how to read Hebrew back to front or switch to a different editor?
    Bottom line:
    - Adobe CC already set on English with Hebrew support (other programs work fine with Hebrew)
    - Not code problem - all tags are written properly and text displays properly on all browsers I've checked, as well as the live preview
    - Happens between tags and in lines without tags
    ETA: I installed the CS6 version of DW (English with Hebrew support), and it works perfectly. But I'd still like to be able to work on DW CC.

    Hi,
    We tried reproducing the problem at our end. Everything worked fine here.
    Can you please share some more information on your machine configuration:
    1. Mac or Win > Operating system
    2. OS settings > Locale and Keyboard used
    3. What all other Adobe products you have installed on your system (CC and CS)
    4. Does deleting preferences helped you
    We will try to replicate your machine environment here. If that does not succeed, we might ask you to share your screen with us so we can try to isolate the problem.
    thanks,

  • ISight producing mirror image in all apps

    Whenever I use anything that displays the video captured by the iSight camera, the image is a mirror. I cannot find anything that would permit me to configure the camera to show the image it's actually capturing. Is there a way I can do this?

    Welcome to Discussions, bjames.wi
    Software controls your iSight. Many, but not all, software applications give mirror-image iSight views. Different apps work differently. Your Mac's Help in each application should give you more info on how each particular app works, but here are some suggestions for a few of the most common apps.
    (1) iChat's picture-in-picture and Snapshot is "mirrored" by design.
    We are so accustomed to seeing ourselves in the mirror that it looks strange the other way. Your movie clips and the view that your chat friends' see and are normal. Only video snapshots you make and your video preview are mirror-image.
    (2) You can change individual snapshots made with either iChat or Photo Booth by opening the file with your Preview application and using the Preview > Tools > Flip Horizontal menu command.
    Full-featured image editing software such as PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements can also flip images that have already been saved.
    (3) You can change future Photo Booth snapshots with the Photo Booth > Edit > Auto Flip  New Photos menu choice.
    More info is in Photo Booth > Help > Photo Booth Help. Search for Flipping a photo there.
    (4) iMovie is different. Its preview window shows images right-way-around, as is the customary view for movie cameras.
    (5) To flip saved video recordings, QuickTime Pro can do it easily. Use QT Pro's "Visual Settings" controls in the "Video Track" section of its "Movie Properties" menu command to flip, rotate, resize, and edit other properties of an already-recorded video.
    If you do not have QT Pro, you can use iMovie 6 HD. Import the saved Photo Booth or iChat 4 video clip into iMovie and use iMovie's "Mirror" effect in Editing >Video FX to flip it.
    The latest iMovie version, iMovie 8 (sometimes called iMovie '09 because it is part of iLife '09), can also flip already-saved video. I do not think that iMovie 7 (which was part of iLife '08) can flip videos.
    (6) If you really want to change your iSight's image, you can add iGlasses 2 software.
    (7) If you are into no-cost, imperfect, and unsophisticated work-arounds, one kludged alternative would be to position a mirror as best you can so you are making video of your image in the mirror.
    (8) If you need more info, when you post back please let us know which application gives you trouble.

  • "Mirror Image Decals"

    I'm making Decals for Custom HotWheels. I create the Left Side Decal in layers using no Global Light with Bevel/Emboss and Drop Shadow at 120 degrees, with the supposed light coming from the upper left and the shadow laying out at the lower right. To create the Right Side Decal I link all layers and flip Horizontal. But, I must then set the Bevel/Emboss and Drop Shadow angles for each individual layer (for this, now the Right Side) to the opposite of 120 degrees which is 60 degrees. A side Decal may contain 50-75 layers and I have to make this necessary change for each single layer when I Flip Horizontal. How can I Flip Horizontal the original linked layers of the Left Side and have all the lighting aspects of Layer Style Effects also flip? I need a perfect Mirror Image for both sides, including the lighting aspects. I'm using PhotoShop 6, --CadillacPat the UnCustomizer--

    Zeno,
    I'll try that out,
    If you'll explain to me,
    How do I convert all the layers in the image into one Smart Object??

  • Mirror Image and Dust

    I have a digital conversion that was copied backward and inside out (don't ask!)
    I know I can reverse the front to back in Premiere, but how can I 'flip' the mirror image frames?
    I have been to other video editing forums and get info that it can be done using 'pan/crop tools' but no explanation as to how (or even what that is). I don't know if that exists in APE as it does in Sony Vegas. Any suggestions?
    Also, the film was not cleaned before it was run (backward) for recording, so it is full of dust and debris. Is there a function to get this stuff out, like there would be in Photoshop for stills?
    Thanks
    Doug

    The Effect>Horizontal Flip should take care of the reverse view of the Frame.
    As for the dust, the best course of action is to clean the film, prior to the telecining operation, and is a feature of most professional telecine houses.
    Otherwise, one has only two choices, and either will involve a lot of hand-work. One could Export/Share as a Film Strip (think that this option was discontinued in later PrE versions), then Import the individual Frames of the Film Strip into PS for work, Frame by Frame, in PS. This would be Rotoscoping. The other involves doing the same, without the limitation of the Film Strip format, in Adobe After Effects and its Clone Tool. Either is a Frame by Frame operation and requires a lot of time and work.
    Cleaning and redoing the telecine would be my choice. Also, this should eliminate the need for the Flipping, if done right.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Change object view to reverse or mirror image to itself

    I am using Illustrator CS3 and have Windows XP. I have a vector object that I would like to flip over,or see the mirror image of it. How do you do that?
    Doug

    If you mean you want to see a mirrored image of the object as you draw and manipulate it, you can do that using the live effect found in:
    Object>Distort&Transform>Transform. In the dialog, enter 1 for Copies, and turn on the Reflect X checkbox. Set other options (horizontal or vertical move distance, proxy box handle point, etc.) as desired.
    Another method:
    1. Select the object. Symbols Palette flyout menu: New Symbol. In the resulting dialog, select Graphic and click OK. The object is now a Symbol Instance.
    2. AltDrag the object to make a copy of it. Use the Reflect Tool to flip it horizontally or vertically, as explained in Post 1.
    3. DoubleClick either of the object's Instances on the page. That puts the Symbol in Isolation mode. Edit the artwork as desired. When done, rightClick it and select Exit Isolation Mode. All other Instances of the Symbol update accordingly.

  • I am trying to print a photo as a Mirror image (backwards).

    There is no option in iPhoto special effects or options to do this. Any advice???

    ccintI:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's no way to get a mirror image for printing in iPhoto 6 except when the photo is in a book. You can, however, use Seashore, a freeware image editor, as the editor of choice in iPhoto and it can flip the photo vertically to get you the mirror image. You can set it up to use from within iPhoto as follows:
    Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General preferences under the Edit photo menu, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Creating the mirror image...

    I used to have a workflow for taking any image, and making the top half appear as if it's a mirror image in a lake on the bottom.
    I started (if memory serves correct), by finding the point where the water hits the original and I would create a layer and fill it with blue.
    I then copied, rotated the top onto it's own layer so it was a mirror view.
    I then gaussean blurred (if I remember correctly) and did something to have this effect very realistic and I just can't find my notes on this.
    Does anyone have a suggested workflow or tutorial?
    Thanks

    Maybe Motion Blur with transparency locked? Perhaps something in this tutorial will jog your memory.
    http://photoshopcontest.com/tutorials/26/displacement-water.html
    Unless you also have Photoshop, skip down to the second section of this tutorial.
    Don't let not being able to do the channel bit deter you. You can take an image of water...or a water texture you've made...and save it in PSD format to use to displace the water surface. It's also helpful to blur the texture a bit before using it with the displacement filter.

  • Mirror Imaging

    I would like to make a mirror image of a video clip so that I can put two copies of the same video clip side by side(one mirror imaged) on the screen. I could then, for example, have the effect of a person singing to themselves. This might be fun for Karaoke clips for example.How do I do this please.

  • How do I print a mirror image?  Where did the old functionality go?

    Within the last several months I was able to print a mirror image of my document to my HP DeskJet F4180 in high resolution. I don't know if it is the new HP drivers, or my new Snow Leopard OS but now I can' figure out how to do it again. I can grab a screen shot in and flip it in Preview but it ends up printing in low resolution.
    I have printed mirror images in the past from my PDF applciations and I think from Office 2008 (PowerPoint). I find no documents saved on my hard drive that come up saved as a reverse image so I suspect that I was using a printer feature not an application feature to print mirror images.
    Where did this functionality go?

    Found it!
    Use the check box marked Flip Image. Didn't is say mirror before?

  • Ok with one image effect but not two ?? explorer problem, firefox is ok...

    Hi guys, I've just starting put a site together here:
    http://ashling.yorkwebsites.co.uk/jonah/
    I'm aiming for a the image effect at the top with imagerotator and a coverflow type effect at the bottom.
    I put the coverflow viewer in first and it worked fine on firefox and explorer.
    then i added in the image rotator. Both work good in firefox but in explorer I only get the top image rotator, no coverflow lower down. What could be causing this? can anyone please help. thanks.

    what about if you install the flash? do both work or can you only see the top one still??

  • Printing in mirror image

    I cannot not print in mirror image.  I have Microsoft word 2013 and cannot find rotate or drawing tool.  Can anyone help me?  I take this printer does not print mirror image which I am so shocked.  Didn't even think to look for this feature before purchasing cause most printers have this option.

    You should find the Flip Horizontal option under Page Layout > Rotate.
