Mirror Image flip effect

Feature
One of the most frequently requested new features in the user forums is a mirror image effect. This does not refer to a mirror-image flip of the entire photo, but rather a mirror flip within the photo across a center line. This tool will turn the right half of the image into a mirror reflection of the left half, or vice versa. Tool Name: Mirror Image

Location: A tool will be added to the third "fun and useful image processing" tab.

Icon: Like the other icons, the icon for this tool will feature the selected photo with the effect applied

Tool Tip: When the user hovers over the icon, the tool tip will read "create a mirror image of your photo

How It Works: When the user clicks the tool, a green guideline appears in the center of the selected photograph. This guideline represents the flip line; everything to the left of this line will be mirrored to the immediate right of this line or vice versa, depending upon the flip direction the user chooses. In the left panel, the user can choose a button to Flip Left, Flip Right, or Cancel. If the user clicks Back to Library or tries to close the application before choosing an option in the left panel, a message pop-up will appear asking the user whether they want to Flip Left, Flip Right, or Discard Changes. As with other Picasa Features, the user can undo the change after it has been applied by clicking Undo Mirror Image.
