How Do You Flip an Image in Photoshop and Not the Canvas?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 10:16 pm

To flip an image in Photoshop, you first need to open the image in Photoshop. Then, go to the ‘Edit’ menu and select ‘Transform.’

PRO TIP: If you are using Photoshop to flip an image, be sure to not also flip the canvas. Flipping the canvas will result in the image being displayed upside down.

A submenu will appear with several options. Select ‘Flip Horizontal’ or ‘Flip Vertical,’ depending on which way you want to flip the image. The image will then be flipped.

If you want to flip the image without flipping the canvas, you need to go to the ‘Image’ menu and select ‘Image Rotation.’ Then, select either ‘180 degrees’ or ‘180 degrees (flip).’ This will rotate the image without flipping the canvas.
