Hidy all, I was a wondering if there is someway to flip a brush image..like for instance..I have a bird..one is smaller than other and they are on a branch..I want them to face each other.

Anyone got a clue?

Thanks
Micki

What I would do, is Image>Transform>Flip Horizontally, paint the bird where you want it, and flip it back. That's what I do.

You can also load a brush as a separate image and reverse it and save it as a new brush name.

An alternative would be to drag the brush from the Brushes dialog and drop it on the Toolbox -- this will create your separate image. Perform the flipping and then an Edit->Copy. Next select the Clipboard Brush in the Brushes dialog (always the top left brush). If you want the brush to use the active foreground color, the separate image should be flattened (with a white BG) and its mode set to grayscale.
