Image flipping Problem

[phantim7]

I have modified my original question it is the third post on this thread


I am using a Macbook pro intel core duo with photoshop CS2


I want to create a reverse image side by side with the original. I have followed the instruction but get caught up at the last point. I double the canvas and lock the original image to the right side. I select the original image and hit cmd J and it indeed creates another duplicate image i move this image to the new area i have created and then select image flip horizontal but it flips both the images horizontally!!! Can anyone give me a hand?


Thank you very much

If you reference my first post or this link http://photoshop911.typepad.com/help/2004/01/mirror_images.html?commenter=phantim7
it describes how you can make a side by side double except the CS2 help says:

The Rotate Canvas commands let you rotate or flip an entire image. The commands do not work on individual layers or parts of layers, paths, or selection borders.

this was copy pasted so...anyways, my question is this: Can i take an image replicate it within the same image by some command like command J (creating another image layer) and then only "flip canvas horizontal" one of the images so that in the end I have one image "facing" the other

thanks for your help

Well, while waiting for a reply i messed about and just figured it out myself. hmm, that sounds harsh, fyi, i am not pissed i didnt get one ;)

Anyways, if anyone else wants to know how to do it i would be happy to oblige...although if i figured it out (a total CS2 noob) i am sure no one here will have any problems

[Tips]

While some figured this out for themselves, we figured this tutorial might help others who wish to do the same thing.

This works in all platforms, in all versions of Adobe Photoshop, and/or Adobe Photoshop Elements. (Also works in many other image editing programs)
