"Single photo. No multi-image compositions. Your submitted entry must come from a single photograph taken with your digital camera."
Is it legal to use duplicate copies of your photo to create a mirror effect?

It's not multiple exposures, it the same picture. If I understand correctly of what you want to do, it would basically be your subject cloned (and then inversed).
I would say what you want to do would be "legal" within the Advanced Editing rules, but I would not recommend doing it. This would not really be keeping the photographic integrity, and you would probably be voted lower because of it.
Best of luck!

Do you mean to use a photo and a copy of a photo together - merged into one? This you cannot do.
Do you mean to flip the image horizontal or vertical and then use that one image? Yes, you can do that.
Expand your explanation, and I will attempt to answer. :)

You answered my question already. |

Thought you were talking about a picture of a picture. Like this.

I agree that this would be legal under the current Advanced Editing rules, since the resulting photograph is still from a "single image", and if proof was requested, we would be able to see the "source copy area" in the submitted original.
The warning about maintaing photographic integrity is a good one though. If it is done well, the effect should be totally unnoticeable and look completely natural. Otherwise, you are likely to suffer the wrath of the "this looks edited" voters. |

Surely you could do this by creating a duplicate layer within PS, and then inverting, and then erasing ... so effectively, there is a way around it that is fully within the rules. As I understand them. Though I'd echo the point about the voters not liking it.

Whether the voters like it or not is not the question.
I think I would consider a duplicate copy of an image to be a second image. You would not? |

No, because it is the same exposure. The rule about "multiple images" is intended to prevent copying-and-pasting elements (like a great sky taken 6 months ago) from one photo to another. But if somebody wanted to copy a tree from the left side of the photo to the right side of the photo "for symmetry", that would be within the Advanced Editing rules as they are currently written. They are not adding elements from another exposure. |

'Tis a very long way we have come from "removing specks of dust" in a very short time. |

You need to be careful doing something that looks too 'Photoshopped". My entry in the 'Things that go together' challenge was done with mirrors not clone tool. From some comments I got, I believe it got voted down some because people thought I did it in Photoshop.

Looks like you paid the penalty for being too creative. Too bad people couldn't have read your notes while voting .... |
