Question about Adobe Photoshop

[The Iceman Marco]

I'm trying to make my own helmet. I use Adobe Photoshop, but my skills are very bad. I still think I can make my helmet, because it isn't a difficult design. But I have a question about it. Is it possible to make only one side of the helmet and mirror it when that side is finished? When it's possible, how do you do it?

[Racehard]

Yes it's possible.

Mark the area you want to mirror, right click on it - free transform- right click on it again - mirror as wished

[The Iceman Marco]

Thanks, I tried it, but I don't see mirror as wished. I clicked on free transform for the second time, but I only get this:



I have the free trial, don't know if that could be the problem.

[Racehard]

It's flip horizontal/vertical.

[The Iceman Marco]

It worked, but when I click on flip horizontal I have it only on the right side, before I had only the left side. But how can I get them on both sides?

[Racehard]

You have to duplicate the selection first. (select - ctrl+c - ctrl+v )

[The Iceman Marco]

Thanks.

I have another question. Is it possible to put some pictures on it? Because I have my name, which is on my helmet in real, as a picture on my computer. If it's possible I can put it on my helmet.

[Racehard]

Just open the picture in another photoshop window, copy paste the selection onto your helmet.
Afterwards free transform/rescale/or whatever the selection as wished with the several oportunities photoshop gives you (in same window as free transform).

Thanks, now I can finish it.

Will you upload it?

[The Iceman Marco]

What do you mean? My helmet?

[laraarsa]

yes i meant your helmet.

[The Iceman Marco]

I can, it's finished for a while now. I made it for myself, but if others like you want it I can upload it. I'll upload it in "paints" you will see it.
