ThanksFlippingFlipping sounds like something you'd do with a pancake, rather than a picture, but the general effect is the same. When you flip thepancake, you reverse it so the other side cooks. When you flip the image, you reverse it so you see a mirror image. You can fliphorizontally or vertically. Figure 4.13 shows both.Figure 4.13. The top pair of words has been flipped horizontally, whereas the bottom pair hasbeen flipped vertically.Flipping is different from rotating because it changes the up/down or left/right orientation of the image. Of course, sometimes you mightneed to do both to get the image or selected object oriented the way you want it. For comparison purposes, Figure 4.14 shows the effectsof rotation. To make this composition, I typed the word Rotate and copied it, rotating each copy.Figure 4.14. You can rotate an image by dragging the selection or by choosing to rotate 90 or180 degrees from the menu, or by entering the desired rotation amount in the Tools Optionsbar.
