applying mirror then resetting loc and rot does not set mirror properly modleing a head. steps taken: get circle 8 sides. set aline to view, shape circle to eye, add mirror. reset location to 0, reset rotation to 0. this is what I end up with. the eyes are too close together. how do I get the mirrored eye to actaully be where it is suppose to be in the referecnce photo? I even reset the reference photo to center in the 3d viwer and it still does not set the mirrored eye in center of eye.

file and photo inclused in this post. sized down so I can uploaded it
First apply rotation and scale (scale is not need here but it is better for the future) :


Ctrl+A then choose 'rotation &amp; scale'





Now set the 3D cursor at the center of the 3D space (as the picture is centered also) : Shift+S, then cursor to center
Then place the object to the center : Shift+S, then selection to cursor 
Go to edit mode and replace the eye


The left part (her right) is a bit offset... but no human face is totally symetrical...
