Reverse/mirror Image Print Out For Fbct
Decorating By ConnieB Updated 31 Jul 2006 , 1:01pm by ConnieB
For those "low-tech" people out there, I'll tell you what I do. I put the image on my screen. Put wax/parchment up to the screen, turn the light dial to the brightest it goes and then using a sharpie I trace the image. Then I flip it over and put the traced side down and it is in reverse. My printer never works so this is what I did in a pinch and it actually works pretty good.
On my printer, I go to "file", "print", then I choose "preferences", then "layout", and there should be an option to print "mirror". May be the same for yours?? HTH
i use the Paint program to flip the image before i print. that's what i do at work. at home... i do like SarahJane and trace cuz my printer is finicky. works great too, although sometimes i forget to flip my image and have to start over! ![]()
low techie or high techie- I've never used EVERY brand of scanner out there- but I can't see why your scanner doesnt have the reverse function on it- you shouldnt even have to mess around with your photo/image editing software. Every scanner that I've used up to and including my HP 3-1 has all sorts of editing capabilities including reverse image
Here is a really low tech way of creating a mirror image. Place a bit of vegetable oil on a piece of paper towel and rub it over the back surface of your image. This will cause the paper to become transclusent and you will be able to see the image that's on the front of the paper. The image that you see will be the reverse image of what's on the front.
High tech version
Seeing that different programs use different methods what I would suggest is using the HELP feature of your program. So look at the top of the window and click on HELP. it will give you an index just type in mirror image or reverse image and it should give you a list of articles. Read them.
