When, when working in MS Word, it becomes necessary to rotate the text, not all users know how to do this. To effectively solve this problem, you should look at the text not as a set of letters, but as an object. It is over the object that you can perform various manipulations, including rotation around the axis in any exact or arbitrary direction.

The topic of text rotation has already been discussed by us earlier, in the same article I would like to talk about how to mirror text in Word. The task, although it seems more complicated, is solved by the same method and a couple of additional mouse clicks.

1. Create a text field. To do this, in the tab "Insert" in a group "Text" select item "Text field".

2. Copy the text you want to mirror ( CTRL+C) and paste in the text field ( CTRL+V). If the text is not yet typed, enter it directly into the text box.

3. Perform the necessary manipulations on the text inside text field- change the font, size, color and other important settings.

You can mirror the text in two directions - relative to the vertical (top to bottom) and horizontal (left to right) axes. In both cases, this can be done using the tab tools "Format" that appears on the panel quick access after adding the figure.

1. Double click on the text field to open the tab "Format".

2. In a group "Organize" press the button "Turn" and select the item "Flip left to right"(horizontal reflection) or "Flip Down"(vertical reflection).

3. The text inside the text field will be mirrored.

Make the text box transparent by doing the following:

  • Right-click inside the field and click on the button "Circuit";
  • Select an option from the dropdown menu "No Outline".

Horizontal reflection can also be done manually. To do this, you just need to swap the top and bottom edges of the text box shape. That is, you need to click on the middle handle on the top face and drag it down, placing it under the bottom face. The shape of the text field, the arrow of its rotation will also be at the bottom.

Sometimes, to create a beautiful image, processing with the help of various editors is required. If there are no programs at hand or you do not know how to use them, then online services can do everything for you for a long time. In this article, we will talk about one of the effects that can beautify your photo and make it special.

One of the features of photo processing is the effect of a mirror or reflection. That is, the photograph is split in two and combined, making the illusion that there is a double nearby, or reflections, as if the object is reflected in glass or a mirror that is not visible. Below are three online mirror-style photo editing services and how to work with them.

Method 1: IMGOnline

The IMGOnline online service is completely dedicated to working with images. It contains both the functions of an image extension converter, and photo resizing, and great amount ways to process photos, which makes this site a great choice for the user.

To process your image, do the following:


Method 2: Reflection Maker

From the name of this site, it immediately becomes clear why it was created. The online service is completely focused on creating "mirror" photos and no longer has any functionality. Another disadvantage is that this interface is completely in English, but it will not be so difficult to figure it out, since the number of functions for mirroring an image is minimal.

To mirror the image you are interested in, follow these steps:


Method 3: Mirror effect

Like the previous one, this online service is created for only one purpose - creating mirrored images and also has very few functions, but compared to the previous site, it has a choice of reflection side. It is also fully aimed at a foreign user, but understanding the interface is not difficult.

To generate an image with reflection, you need to do the following:


Just like that, with the help of online services, the user will be able to create a reflection effect on his photo, filling it with new colors and meanings, and most importantly, it is very easy and convenient. All sites have a fairly minimalistic design, which is only a plus for them, and English language on some of them, it does not hurt to process the image the way the user wants.

We will make a mirror image in Photoshop in a few minutes. I will write in detail each step and illustrate everything with pictures. This effect is very often used by designers and photo processors.

I'll show you how to make a mirror image using these fruits as an example. Open the photo in Photoshop.

First we need to select the fruits. To do this, use the Lasso tool, it can be found on the toolbar.

By the way, I recorded a special free video course on Photoshop on the topic "How to select in Photoshop". You can download it at . After reviewing this course, you can easily learn how to select any objects in Photoshop.

Select fruits. The upper part can be highlighted with a white background - that's okay. But the bottom one should try to highlight evenly, without an extra background, only fruits. Since this part will lie under the image of fruit and serve as a reflection.

Press CTRL+C to copy the selected image. After that press CTRL+V to paste the image, it will automatically appear on a new layer. So we duplicated the image of fruit. From this copy we will make a reflection.

Now press CTRL+T a transform shape will appear. Click on fruits right click mouse, a menu will appear - select "Flip Vertically". This is how we flip the image.

Move the reflected fruits down.

Next, you need to substitute them under the fruits that are at the top. Press CTRL+T, a shape to transform will appear. Move the cursor to the corner of this shape, you will see how the cursor will take shape to rotate the image. Now pinch left button mouse and rotate the image. Rotate it so that it stands exactly under the fruit, as if serving as their continuation.

Now for this layer, set the opacity to 40% so that the specular reflection is realistic and a bit transparent.

It will turn out like this:

From yesterday's lesson photoshop you could learn around your axis. Today I'm posting another simple tutorial on how to flip an image vertically or horizontally on an image. This simple Photoshop trick is often used when preparing complex illustrations, collages and banners. For example, to create the effect of reflecting an object in water, a mirror or from a polished surface.

The model for this lesson will be a forest girl from, whose image we successfully rotated from different angles.
