HI! Basically the mirror image is the back of your print out.. If you print something and trace right over your image and then flip it.. If it has writing on it the writing will be backwards.. So what i use to do is print my picture, tape it to my front screendoor facing outside.. So that I can see through the paper and trace the back.. Once that is done, you will use the traced side for your BCT.. When I flip it, it will be just as I printed it.. am I making sense here?????? let me know if I confused you.. LOL Good Luck! I love BCT!!!!
P.S. there are ways to flip this with your computer editing software.. you may know how to do that,.. If not try the (window) or screen thing..
All you have to do is when you say to print your image....
If you use Windows, A print window will open, in this window there should be a button that says [properties] (see pic 1), click this button, a different window will open, on this window there are several tabs (see pic 2), select the Basic tab and half way down the screen there should be a mirror image box to select (see pic 3). Select this box and then say okay to print.
Let me know if you still need help.
Unless I am doing something that has writing or letters on it or something like a flag that has to go a certain way I don't worry about doing the mirror image of things.
Some things you can get away with just using it as is.

Here is the low tech way to make a mirror or reverse image.
1. Print the image That you want.
2. Pour some vegetable oil on a piece of a paper towel.
3. Rub The paper towel over the the printed image. This will cause the paper with the image printed on it to become transclusent.
4. Flip the image over and you will be able to see the image but it will btr The mirror /reverse image of what's on the front.
If you need help using a particular graphics program private message me. Each program has a slightly different way of making a mirror image.
