You can save your settings as a preset for future use.

To Apply a Mirror Effect:

    2. You can also access the Special Effects menu from the Filter drop-down menu or Filter toolbar.

  2. Click Mirror.
  3. On the Mirror panel, in the Mirror direction area, select one of the following options to indicate which direction you want to mirror the image:
    • Horizontal

  4. Drag the Mirror axis slider to adjust the position of the mirror. A value of 500 places the mirror in the center of the image.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • Click Done to accept your changes and close the panel.
