Flip, reflect, and frame images

Follow these steps

1. 1

   Flip horizontally or vertically

   PropertiesTransform

   Choose Flip horizontal or Flip vertical. The existing image is mirrored in place. Apply the same command again to reverse it. These commands are also available in the right-click menu.

2. 2

   Create a reflected copy

   PropertiesTransform

   Choose Reflect horizontal or Reflect vertical. The source remains and a new copy is reflected across its edge. Check whether the copy falls outside the page and reposition it if needed.

3. 3

   Round the corners

   PropertiesCorner Radius

   Increase the corner value to round the image frame. Linked corners share a value; unlink them to adjust individual corners. For a shape mask, use its own shape-editing lesson.

4. 4

   Add an outline and shadow

   PropertiesStroke

   Set the stroke width, color, and line style. In Shadow, adjust color, opacity, horizontal and vertical distance, blur, and spread. This design shadow is different from an AI-generated product shadow applied to the photo.

5. 5

   Understand Reset

   PropertiesReset

   Reset at the top of the Properties panel does more than undo your last move: it resets the inner crop, flips, some frame and shadow settings, fades, filters and opacity, and leaves the chosen fitting mode alone. With several images selected it resets all of them. To remove only a filter or a fade, use that section’s own reset.

   Do not treat this as restoring every possible image setting and the source file. Use Undo when you only want to reverse the latest action.
