So here's the fun part. To view the entire effect, go up to the <strong>Image<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar and choose <strong>Reveal All<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/mirror-image\/reveal-all-command-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Choosing the Reveal All command from the Image menu in Photoshop\" width=\"231\" height=\"117\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Image &gt; Reveal All.<\/div>\n<p>The Reveal All command instantly reveals the entire Photoshop canvas, including the hidden areas, giving us our final result.<\/p>\n<p>To fit the entire effect on the screen, choose the <a href=\"\/basics\/photoshop-image-navigation\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Fit on Screen<\/a> command by pressing <strong>Ctrl+0<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+0<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cc\/2020\/mirror-image\/photoshop-mirror-image-effect.jpg\" alt=\"A mirror image effect created in Photoshop\" width=\"804\" height=\"449\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final mirror image effect.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
