Problem: you need the TheGIMP to make the person or object in your photo to face the other direction.
Using another goregeous image from APOD and TheGIMP's Flip Tool, a demonstration of flipping an image ....
|
Select the Flip Tool from the Toolbox or right click on the image and follow the menus <Image> Tools ->Transform Tools ->Flip. The default behavior of this tool is to flip images horizontally. Touch your image with this tool and everything in the image that was facing right will now face left. |
|
The tool will flip images vertically as well; the tool needs some instructions and gets these instructions from the "Tool Options" dialog which can be found via two menu paths <File> Dialogs ->Tool Options or <Image> Dialogs ->Tool Options. A word about this dialog; the more you want to do with TheGIMP, the more you will probably need to use this tool option dialog. It will show the options for which ever tool is engaged at the moment. When using the Flip Tool you should be able to make 3 images different from your original; play with the tool yourself or see the demonstration. |
