It would be more helpful if you could have included actual links to the software on question or at least links to results that want to emulate.

Before you answer, consider if you've provided enough information for someone that's _not_ you to figure out what you are looking for. On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 6:53 AM brendan c mullally wrote:

Hi,

So I’m really into crating works by using a mirror/reflection app called ‘Mirror Effect.’ This app allows one to merge reflected images seamlessly, and VERY QUICKLY.

I love using the app, but I loose tons of pixels in the transfer, and I have not been able to find any software that will allow me to do this so simply and quickly.

Before trying to answer my question or offer advice, please take a look at one of these reflection merging apps can do.

Mirror Effect

Reflection

I really cannot thank you enough for all of your help.

Cheers!

Best,

Brendan

If it was me I think I would rectangle select the area I wanted to make into a 'reflection', copy it, and paste it into the image as a new layer. Then I would do Layer > Transform > Flip vertically. There's a 'reflection', that can be moved up or down and scaled on its vertical axis (if desired) to fit where you want it in the image. If transparency is wanted, add a layer mask to the reflection layer and fill it with a white-to-black vertical gradient; note that you can go outside the layer with the gradient to get partial fading as needed.

Not "one click" fast but not at all time consuming, and you get the exact reflection you want, with GIMP-quality scaling and etc. in the finished product. Plus you can edit your saved XCF file if you need to adjust the reflection effect later on.

That link was 404 when I tried it. Is there another way to get in?

Thanks, Rick
