How to flip horizontal or vertical in photoshop?

Hello All. In this post of mine I would like to demonstrate a very simple action in photoshop. That is how can we flip a layer in photoshop.

Step 1 : To start with let us create a new image in photoshop (Menu File > New) (Keyboard press CTRL + N).

Step 2 : Since it would be eazy to understand this action using a shape, let me select the 'Custom shape tool' (Keyboard press U).


Step 3 : Create a new layer (Menu Layer > New) (Keyboard press SHIFT + CTRL + N).


Step 4 : Draw the shape on the layer


Step 5 : Flip the shape (menu Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal)


Now we can see the shape is fliped horizontally.

Thank you for reading this short post on how to use flip in photoshop.
