Add an option to mirror images prior search #315

Closed gichtl closed 3 months ago

Sometimes images are just mirrored horizontally so that they cannot be found by most reverse searches.

It would be nice to have an option which mirrors the picture prior search.

Adding a simple image editor to the viewer would be ideal, let's track this at https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image/issues/201.

An integrated image editor might be useful if one wants do more complex modifications or crop the image first. But I think that this will overload the plugin. There are already several online image edutors available like https://www.online-image-editor.com/, from which s-b-i can be run.

There ale also a lot of mirror / flip / rotate image online available, but they require a new tab, several extra keystrokes for copy-and-paste the url and some additional mouseclicks

I like the charm to have a simple (re)search for the mirrored image without any further invention by a simple mouseklick. Especially when searching for multiple images.
