Flip, reflect, and frame images
Last updated: September 8, 2026 · 4 min read
Adjust orientation, rounded corners, outlines, and shadows.
Flipping mirrors the existing image. Reflecting creates a separate mirrored copy, useful for symmetrical layouts.
Follow these steps
- 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
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
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.

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.

Understand Reset
PropertiesTransformReset
Reset in Transform affects several settings, including internal framing, flips, some frame and shadow settings, fade, filters, and opacity. It is not just an undo for the last move. Use a section’s own reset when you only want to remove its filter or fade.
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.
Result
Your image has the intended orientation and framing, with reflection and flipping used deliberately.
