If you don’t want to copy the layer first, you can just start at this point by making a selection around the object and then flipping it. With the new layer active, your selection on the page will cover the copied layer.
Line your layers up using the Move Toolįirst, use any selection tool to select the area you want to flip (press M to activate the Select Tool).Ĭopy the selection onto a new layer using the shortcut Control + C and then Control + V on Windows or Command + C and then Command + V on Mac. Go to Layer > Rotate > Flip Horizontally/Vertically. Follow these steps to flip your selection. You can also use this technique to mirror objects and create a symmetrical design if you add in a step of copying the selection first.
This technique is useful if you want an object to face another way.
Whether you are working with images or a drawing in FireAlpaca, you can quickly flip a selection.
