How Do I Use the Mirror Tool in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 25, 2023 @ 12:43 pm

The Mirror Tool in Photoshop is a great way to create a reflection of an image. Here’s how to use it:

1. Open your image in Photoshop.

2. Select the Mirror Tool from the Tools palette, or press M on your keyboard.

3. In the Options bar, select the Horizontal option.

4. Click and drag across your image to create a horizontal line.

5. Release the mouse button when you’re happy with the line’s position.

6. A new layer will appear in your Layers palette, containing a copy of your image that’s been flipped horizontally.

PRO TIP: The Mirror Tool in Photoshop can be a useful tool for creating reflections, but it can also be dangerous. If you are not careful, you can easily create unwanted distortions in your image. Be sure to use the tool on a copy of your image, and not your original, so that you can always go back if needed.
