How to Invert Images in Adobe Photoshop 7

The ability to Invert images is a useful feature of most versions of Adobe Photoshop. You can make mirror images or swap the direction of an image for aesthetic purposes. Saving an extra copy of an image inverted horizontally can be used to have two copies of the picture facing each other on opposite sides of a logo, or inverting images vertically could be used to make gag photos of your friends.

Things You'll Need

• Adobe Photoshop 7 and later
• Image

Instructions

1. Open the image that you want to invert In Adobe Photoshop 7 or later.

2. Navigate to the main toolbar at the top of the screen and click on "Image" to bring up a new list of options.

3. Click on "Rotate Canvas" in the new list of options. Pick the direction that you want to invert the image in the "Rotate Canvas" menu. Clicking on "Flip Canvas Horizontal" will swap the left and right sides of the image, making it appear backwards as though looking at it through a mirror.

4. Clicking on "Flip Canvas Vertical" in the "Rotate Canvas" menu will swap the top and bottom sides of the image, as though flipping it over and upside down.
