Flipping Images in Photoshop June 30, 2009

Posted by Emily in : Photography , trackback

I love when I stumble upon something new.

Well, new to me anyway.

I specifically took this picture with the letters appearing backward because I’d rather have the lighting right (the light was behind me) than read the words correctly.

But, it kind of bugged me reading “happy birthday” backwards.

David and I started playing around in Photoshop and figured out how to flip the image.

It was super easy.  It took 1.8 seconds.

Open your image in Photoshop CS2, CS3, or CS4

Click on Image

Then Image Rotation

Then Flip Canvas Horizontally

Voila!

Now the lighting is good and you can read the cake!

I love it when I can have my cake and eat it too!

Hmm, you have almost convinced me that I need to take up photography. Your pictures keep getting better and better. Good job, Emily.
