Mirror & Kaleidoscope: what it does and when to use it
Mirror & Kaleidoscope reflects one half of a photo onto the other. Mirroring the left half makes a perfectly symmetrical picture across a vertical line; mirroring the top or bottom half creates the reflection look of a still lake. The kaleidoscope reflects a quarter of the image four ways for a symmetrical pattern.
The mirror line does not have to be in the middle: moving it changes which part of the photo is reflected, and small moves make very different results. Architecture, landscapes, flowers and abstract textures give the most striking images.
Mirroring a face creates an unnaturally symmetrical person who can look quite different from the real one, so use it on portraits only with the person's agreement. To flip a whole picture without reflecting it onto itself, as for a selfie that came out backwards, use Rotate & Flip.

How do I mirror half of a photo?
Choose which half to keep, left, right, top or bottom, and it is reflected onto the other side. Move the Mirror line to reflect around a different point, for example to line it up with the middle of a face or a building. Related tool: Rotate & Flip.
What does the kaleidoscope do?
It cuts the photo into wedges around the centre and reflects one wedge all the way round, like a real kaleidoscope. More segments give a busier pattern, and Kaleidoscope turn picks which part of the photo the wedge is taken from. Related tool: Image Effects.
Is this the same as flipping the image?
No. Flipping turns the whole picture around; mirroring keeps one half and repeats it reflected, so the result is symmetrical. To simply flip a photo, use Rotate and Flip. More help: ImgVX AI help docs.
