Flipping an image
I realize that this may seem like a very basic problem, but I need help none the less. The hospital I work for needs to submit a block of fabric with an image of Mt. Rushmore. The plan is to iron it on, however first we have to print the image on the applique backwards, so when we iron it on the fabric the image appears correctly.

There has to be a way to flip the image backwards in Photoshop. Can someone please tell me how?

Thanks,
kgloe

Select the layer that the image is on (which may be locked if it's the background)

Go 'Edit'

'Transform'

'Flip Horizontal'

That should do it.

If it is locked, duplicate the layer, make sure it's unlocked, and you're all set.
