\nHave you ever wanted to know how to flip a picture in Photoshop?<\/p>\n

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. Although the technique’s wording may differ a bit, depending on which version of Adobe Photoshop you have, it takes just three easy steps. Then, if you like, set up a keyboard shortcut to save time and boost your skills.<\/p>\n

FLIPPING AN IMAGE IN PHOTOSHOP<\/h2>\n

Time:<\/b> 3 minutes.<\/p>\n

Level: <\/b>Beginner, Easy.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/b> Open Photoshop. Open a photo into Photoshop. File > Open ( ctrl + O\/Command + O).<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/b> In Photoshop’s top menu, find the word Image, between the word Edit and Layer.Click Image > Image Rotation>\u00a0Flip Canvas Horizontal.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/b> Save your image file (ctrl + S \/ Command + S). Great, you now have learned an easy technique for flipping your photograph in Photoshop. That’s it !<\/p>\n

Advanced Tip:<\/b> A keyboard shortcut is designed to save you time navigating the menu. To make your own keyboard shortcut for flipping an image, Click\u00a0Alt + Shift + Ctrl + K to bring up the shortcut dialog. Next, Click Image. Look down the dialog box to click\u00a0Flip Horizontal and put in a new Keyboard Shortcut ( I used two keyboard keys:\u00a0“ctrl + ,\u00a0“). Click Accept. Click Save. Try the Shortcut a few times and you’ll see your photograph flip horizontally back and forth.<\/p>\n

CLOSING THOUGHTS<\/h2>\n

Of course, flipping an image horizontally makes a mirror image, and flipping vertically turns your photo\u00a0 upside down. You can flip a photo in Photoshop Elements, or in the Photoshop Express app.<\/p>\n
