Are you curious about how to flip an image in Photoshop? As a graphic artist, you will most likely have to flip a picture in Photoshop at some point in time. Just as with any other kind of flip trick, however, you have to know what you are doing in order to do it right. Essentially, flipping an image in Photoshop rotates it 180 degrees either side-to-side or vertically. In this article, I'm going to give you a step-by-step guide on how to do this.

First of all, let's talk about how we do the actual flip. We'll start by making a simple, high-quality photo of a baby. The reason why we want to make this image is because we're going to use this as our reference in creating multiple layers of Photoshop effects later on. So, we start out by creating a new layer of Photoshop by selecting New from the Layers palette. After that, we modify the current layer by selecting Flip from the Edit menu, deselect it, and then delete it.

Now, since we know how to flip an image in Photoshop, we can move on to the real magic part: performing the actual "flip". How does one perform a Photoshop flip? It's pretty easy actually! You just need to know the basic tricks of Photoshop!

Basically, Photoshop has two different ways of performing a flip, depending on which way you would like to perform the flip. In the first step, Photoshop uses the main rotation tool in the toolbar. To flip your image horizontally, just select the top most layer in your layer group (by default, the root layer) and click on the rotate button.

The second way to perform a Photoshop flip is much easier than the first, and that is using the flip tool. The easiest way to learn how to mirror an image in Photoshop is to simply click on the canvas and start rotating your selection. Or if you would rather not use the canvas, simply click on the object you would like to have your image rotated to. If you would like to learn how to flip an image in Photoshop with the hook-clicking method, you will eventually learn how to perform this when you get to advanced techniques!

In order to start performing the trick, simply click on your mouse at the upper right corner of your canvas (for example, if you are using the Photoshop layer group named "ayers" on your composition called "images"). This will bring up the layer palette, where you will see an animated sequence of your chosen images in the layers pallet. Select the first image in your sequence, then click on the "rotate" toolbar. You can specify the time in seconds or minutes, or whatever feels more comfortable to you as you learn how to flip an image in Photoshop.

While still in the layer palette, click on the first layer, named "paint", and drag it left (toward the right) until it is now beneath the previous layer called "outline". Drag it down until it is beneath the current layer called "stage". After dragging it down, you will notice that the painting has been moved from the uppermost layer to the bottommost layer. If you want to reverse the order, just drag it back to its starting position.

The last step to learn how to flip an image in Photoshop is to click on the "scale" button next to "rotate". This will bring the image to a specified scale, which you will use to make it smaller or larger according to what you desire. You can use the mouse wheel to scroll through the different scales, or you can use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll through them. Keep in mind that the smallest scale is the one nearest to the view, so if you would like your portrait to be as large as possible, you would scroll to the top scale, and once you get to the bottom scale, deselect and select the "fill" option to round out the process.
