Mirror Magic

[Jagman]

Not actually done with a mirror, just photoshop, but I thought this idea might be interesting. The originals were not manipulated, just copied and flipped around.

Very interesting. I've been meaning to explore doing that kind of thing with landscape and nature shots using photoshop. Can you give a quick run-down of how you did it?

It's very very simple, provided you have a good image to start with.
I used these two of mine.

All I did was tip them on thier side, them make a new image exactly twice as high and twice as wide, then just inserted the pictures, one normal, one flipped horizontally, one flipped vertically and one flipped vertically and horizontally. I did crop the yellow flower however, to provide a good place to fold at, and I am considering cropping the bottom of the purple flower to reduce the blurred line through the centre of the image.
