Step 1
Once you have your image open in Photoshop, you can easily flip it in any direction you like. To flip your photo horizontally, click on Image > Image Rotation > Flip Canvas Horizontal in the upper menu bar. That's how to horizontally flip an image in Photoshop.
Similarly, to flip your image vertically, click on the Flip Canvas Vertical option.
Step 2
Now, if you want to flip just one layer and not the whole canvas, you can select the layer you want to flip and press Control/Command-T to bring up the Transform controls, which are the blue lines outlining the layer. Now you can right-click > Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical. This will flip only the selected layer.
How to Mirror Flip an Image in Photoshop
Step 1
Creating a mirror effect is very simple. First, Duplicate your original image using Control/Command-J.
Step 2
Move the duplicate layer to the side of the original on the canvas.
Step 3
Use either a selection tool, Layer Masks, or the Eraser brush to trim any excess background from the duplicate image. I used the Rectangular Marquee Tool to delete the extra black background.
Step 4
Use the Crop tool to crop the canvas so that both images can be seen and create a mirrored effect.

Mirror flipping images in Photoshop is an easy and fun way to create interesting effects, But sometimes you just need to flip an image horizontally, which is luckily just a right-click and Flip away. If you find yourself flipping your images often, you can even set up a keyboard shortcut for it.
