Mirror view (not the image - just the view)

I know, I can rotate the canvas view. But I'm really missing the option to mirror the canvas, without doing changes on my image.

I'm working with a Cintiq tablet. I have my own hand disturbing my view on the picture very often.

Also after working some hours on an image, a mirrored view on it can help finding errors.

Yeah, that can be a stumbling block.

If you are at a lack for words concerning programs like Photoshop posting screenshots can help clarify; the menu positions and panel appearance sometimes help understanding the issue even if the words are in a foreign alphabet.

@christoph_pfaffenbichler Because my English is terrible and I searched about 30 minutes for the right word "artboards"

Vertical mirroring can be simulated by mirroring horizontally and adding a 360˚ rotation with the Rotate View tool.

As for View > Flip Horizontal not working on images with Artboards I can reproduce the issue (with Photoshop 22.4.3) but why did you not mention that in your original post?

Yes, but also vertical and working with artboards.

Flip Horizontal only works on single images

Do you mean View > Flip Horizontal?
