Trace one side copy, flip or rotate & paste? - Loriblackdog - 12-26-2018

Hi All,

In my prev post I had eagle with wings, however one side was cut off, I would like to know how I copy, flip and paste to other side?  The wing on the right side is the full wing which I want to copy the wing and put it on the left side? can this be done? if so, can someone walk me through the steps?  I figured out how to trace the ribbon and the flag, I just want to make the wings match.  I have uploaded the photo again.  I greatly appreciate any help in this matter.  I hope I am posting to the right place for pointers and help?

Thank you

  • Make a rough selection around the existing wing tips (what is missing on the other side, plus some for a smooth transition)
  • Copy to new layer
  • Layer>Transform>Flip
  • Use the perspective tool to overlay by making the existing bits match (reduce the preview opacity)
  • Use a soft brush with the eraser (or on a layer mask) to make a smooth transition
  • You'll also have to slightly adjust the lightness
Of course, the shadows will be wrong on the added bits.

Roughly the same, really just basic Gimp tools.

How about tracing this eagle from a better image that was not taken from an angle ?
