Canvas - original photo & horizontally mirrored copy
Editing photos. There are two methods available to mirror digital images. Programs like Office Picture Manager can be used for this purpose using the mirror transform process. The results of using the mirror transform process can be exported to a new file. The second method is using HTML Canvas.
The advantages of HTML Canvas. Mirroring and rotating an image can be executed with a source photo (in JPEG and PNG) by using Canvas mirror transform and rotate (a javascript code). Canvas nr. 1 represents the original position. Number 2 is the horizontally mirrored version. But nr. 1-2 are produced by one JPEG source file.
Conclusion. Using Canvas on a website is a very good choice. You avoid placing multiple images on the server, including the original photo and the mirrored and rotated version of it. And secondly, you can easily adjust the mirror transform and rotate process without compromising the quality of the original JPEG.
