Horinzontal mirror of an image

[carca]

When I horizontally mirror a a photo (a Quantas plane) with Geometrie/hor mirror) I get a perfectly mirrored image...

Unfortunately the text (the Quantas logo in this case) is equally "mirrored" and not to be read... How can I settle this?

Hi carca

You'll need to manually select this area, cut and paste it to a new layer, then flip this layer and rotate it to fit the area. I found after this the original image required come 'inpainting' to remove the missing pixels.

You can find this in the below screen recording -

I hope this helps!

Ok, I have now seen your video and understand roughly what you suggest... I am just stuck after the first manouver!

I frame the text ok, and I suppose (I could not see it because you zoomed my small image) that I have to cut the selected text area.

When I do this (with command cut), the selected area disapears, but I do not get the corresponding icon that apears in your video

on the right, above the icon of the plane. Certainly because I used the "wrong" command. Can you further explain? Thanks in advance

OK, now I have "made it"!! (See enclosed photo). Sure it looks more a glued label on the plane rather than the original logo they are so proud of but the initial question was on the princip and I have got it and I am going to do it better. Thanks so much for the help.
