how to mirror (flip) a template in PSP X5

[jessica31876]

I am trying to flip a template so it would be a mirror image of the template for the last layout I made. Ive tried using the flip option in PSP but it just flips the layer in the same spot not to the opposite side of the layout. I tried rotate around center of layout and it isnt working either. Is there something I am missing that would make this easier?

Hmm not sure if understand you right but when I want to flip something i just select everything uncluding the background, select all layers and then flip horizontal.

The only way I know is to flip each layer individually....you can't group them and do it like in PS or other stuff

Oh oops missed the part not talking about PS

Paintshop Pro changed how the options flip vertically & flip horizontally respond. They used to mirror the image layer in both flipping the image so whats on the left or top would move to the right or bottom respectively. At the same time the image layer would be flipped physically on the layout from top to bottom or from left to right. Now the image layer stays in the same place on your layout and it jusr mirrors the image itself....I ended up opening the template in Paintshop Pro X1 to flip the template, saved it and then opened it back up in PSP X5 to finish it up

I don't work in paint shop pro, so I'm no help but I did google and found this:

To flip an image horizontally in PSP you can use the command Flip from the menu Image. Apply this command when you want to turn the image upside down.

If you want to mirror the image as to the standing axis, you can use the command Mirror from the menu Image. Apply this command if you want to interchange the left and the right part of the image.

Does that look like it might help??

Mirror got taken out of PSP, not sure why. Sucks. I miss that part.

Mirror and Flip has been put back in PSP in the recent versions. If one wants the same functions in some older versions (when it was taken out), there is a FREE script you can get:

In addition, if one wants to flip or mirror a whole template and all the layers, i have a script for that and it is also free:
