Reflection and symmetry

Using Photoshop to create symmetry

To edit this image, I copied and pasted the image onto a canvas that was double the size of the original image. I then used the transform setting to flip the image vertically to create a reflection-like affect, I flattened the image after each layer-copy aswell. I used a monochromatic filter to accentuate the shades of light and dark.

Experimenting with layers

To edit this image, I repeated the same process in the first image to create the mirror affect, however for this image I copied and pasted the original layer back onto itself and lowered the opacity to create a ghost-like affect. I then used the eraser tool at a low harshness and opacity in order to remove extra sections of the image I wanted to remove, such as the added border of the copied layers. I adjusted the colours and curves of the image to give the photograph a cool-toned blue hue.

Final outcome

First I cropped my image to the size I wanted then I copied the image by pressing control A then going into edit and copy, after increasing the canvas to the right by going into image, canvas size then pressing the left middle arrow and changing the width size to 31. I pasted the image and flipped the image horizontally by going onto image, image rotation and flip image horizontal and flattened the two images together by pressing the four horizontal lines where the layers are and then pressing flatten image. I repeated the process but flipping the image vertically.

Process of Editing

1). The first step in creating this edit was, selecting the image then copying and pasting it onto the same file.

2). After this, I went onto the canvas size and doubled the width of the canvas to the right side in order to create space for the second image.

3). The I selected the second mixture on the other layer then went onto transform and flipped the image horizontally then flattened the image to make it one.

4). once that was done, I selected the image and copy and pasted it again onto the same file, went onto canvas size again and doubled the hight.

5). This then allowed me to move the copy image, select it and flip it vertically on transform in order to make it seem symmetrical and then flattened the image to make it one

6). Finally, I cropped off the image on any bits that still has some of the canvas showing and then it was complete.
