Mirroring around a line/central point?

Hi, fairly new to Photoshop, wondering if there's a way to mirror around a line or mirror one side of a line onto the other side?

 

As a visual representation, the red dot would be the painting side, and the green dot would be a mirrored version of the red dot, being mirrored on the vertical guide in the middle.

 

thanks!

Create a Smart Object, duplicate it (cmd-J), transform and place it as necessary (cmd-T). 

Then when you open the SO, do some edits (or add a graphic) and save it it will update in both instances.

For actual painting 

otherweise I would recommend using two Smart Object instances.

    thanks, that works for painting, much appreciated!

     

    How would i go about setting up the smart objects, and would I be able to import an image to one side and have it mirrored to the other side by doing this?
