To mirror an image is to change it as if it were reflected in a mirror held alongside the image. To flip an image is to exchange top-for-bottom as if the mirror were held underneath the image. Note that both transformations are unique: You can't achieve the same result by rotating the image!

If your image has layers, mirroring and flipping commands apply only to the currently active layer. If your image has an area currently selected, these commands float that selection and then work only on that floating selection.

To mirror an image in Paint Shop Pro, choose Image, Mirror. Your image is transformed into its mirror image.

To flip an image, choose Image, Flip. Your image is turned head-over-heels.
