I would like to select left half of my image and mirror it onto the other one, that's all, how do I do that?

- Make a copy of the layer.
- Select the desired half - Use Rectangle select tool.
- In Tools - Transform tools - Flip (Shift+F) and check the Horizontal option, and click on the canvas.
- Place the modified image on the right side.
- Merge with the bottom layer.

Another way (maybe). If it is a symmetrical mirror, then using the kaleidoscope filter. Filters -> Distorts -> Kaleidoscope
Set Mirrors to 2
Set Offset Y to zero
Adjust Center X to suit.
OK it
