I'm very new to any of this stuff. I am trying to flip or mirror images and text so that i can print them to heat press on shirts and cups. Please help me if you can.

Hi @matt244704494tf2 Are you doing the printing yourself or using an outside printing company? If so, they will take your regular-reading graphic file (which should be vector art made using Illustrator or similar software) and do the conversion. Basically, they will transfer the design with the correct reflection onto a sheet of paper or substrate (transfer paper) in order to print on the product. If you are going to be doing the printing yourself, what type of plotter and material do you have set up? In apps such as Illustrator, Photoshop, or Paint, once your graphic file is complete, you can select FLIP HORIZONTAL to get a reverse image.

Okay, I see. Is there an option to flip the entire canvas horizontal? I don't immediately find one myself, but I didn't look through every option. If not, then it probably can't be done, and you'll have to save the image and do it yourself with another program.
