It is not too difficult to reverse an image in Photoshop (Image > Rotate Canvas > Flip Canvas Horizontally). To flip just his face, I used the Lasso Tool to outline/select just his face, cut it, pasted it into a new PS document, flipped the image, and then pasted it back into the original document. A little cloning and cleanup and that was all.

Taking the arm out was easy (although it could have been a lot better). I could have cloned out the gloved hand as well, but I didn't have the time. Plus it amused me to leave it.

My PS knowledge and skill level is pretty low. I work in the graphic arts industry and have seen some amazing things done with PS.

So, through Facebook I found a friend of mine from a few years back and found out that he's been painting. Thought I'd share. There are cats!!! :)

We had a great time at Louis XIV tonight, but I have to confess my greatest pleasure was seeing Not Afraid channel her punk rock roots, transforming her stance like a Japanese robot - elbows jutting and pogoing against the crowd. The young club girls were not match for her as she lifted them out of her way and jettisoned them back across the dance floor. Don't mess with Not Afraid when she's grooving to a favorite band - and if you claim to be their greatest fan, you'd better be willing to prove it.

Show them how it's done, Not Afraid! :snap:

Sooo... I found out that my step-grandpa passed away Thursday. I feel so removed from the situation, since grandma's death and mom's divorce, but learning of it has brought back a rush of great memories. Christmases, vacations, birthdays, reunions... all of which I was made a part of. He and grandma always made sure I felt special, even if I wasn't biologically related to them. I have missed grandma every day since, and I miss grandpa, just knowing he is gone.

I'm sorry for your loss, blueerica. My condolences. :(

:( /hugs

I'm sorry.

oh, so sorry, blue.
