Inventing Image Imagery

WHILE NOT TRULY DISTORTION effects or filters, two other items you might find interesting are the Mirror and Flip commands. Flip turns the image upside down on its head, and Mirror reverses the picture left to right as if looking in a mirror.

Not many photographs would be appropriate for a Flip command, but many images could benefit from the Mirror command. In Figure 9-19, you see a footprint flipped top to bottom, and Figure 9-20 demonstrates a newborn baby mirrored so that in the image on the right, he’s facing the opposite direction from the original image on the left.
