Microsoft Paint is a standard program on most PCs, including those with Windows 7. The program lets you complete several basic edits to your photos, including resizing, adding text and rotate the angle at which you view the photograph. Creating a mirror image of your original file is also easily achieved. Save the mirror image under a new file name, so that you still have a copy of the original photograph in case you need it.
Step 1
Open Microsoft Paint on your computer and click on the blue tab in the top left corner of the window to locate your image.
