Mirror image on the regular microsoft paint program?

if i open a pic how do i mirror the image right beside it...not flip it or rotate...i need it mirrored right next 2 the regular one so it looks kinda like an illusion type thing i kno you can hit ctrl and then somethin else


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm not 100% sure what you want to do, but I'm guessing you want to mirror half of the image, as in going from this:http://imajr.com/temp/41a476e963_horse1_... to this: http://imajr.com/temp/21a4df749f_horse2_...

If so, here's what you need to do:
1. Open your image in paint.
2. Click on the select tool.
3. Select half of the image. You have the little square markings that tell you where the edge middle is, so use those. For convenience, it's important that you select the RIGHT half, and not the left one.
4. Hit Ctrl+C (that's copy) and them Ctrl+V (paste). Now you should have an exact copy of one half of the image.
5. While taking care not to lose the selection, go to Image->Flip/Rotate->Flip Horizontal.
6. Done. If you have worked with the right half as I said, you should have your mirrored image ready.
If you used the left side though, there's the extra chore of moving the selection over the other half of the image.
7. Don't forget to save :)

I really hope you got it and this is what you need.
