Have you ever wanted to know how to flip a picture in Photoshop?
These are the key steps for flipping your photograph in Adobe Photoshop. This image editor lets you choose between a vertical and a horizontal flip. Since a horizontal flip is a more practical and common edit, let us see how that works.

Then, if you like, set up a keyboard shortcut to save time and boost your skills.
