FYI, there is an app called LensGlobePhotos sold by Human Software that will make "lensball" images from any photo. It's available for PC or MAC and also a plug-in for Elements.

If I understand you correctly:

1.  Make a selection of the lensball using the elliptical marquis tool

2.  Create a layer from the selection (Ctrl+J)

3.  Select the lensball layer

4  Use the move tool to drag a side handle of the selection to the opposite side.

    I followed the steps EXACTLY as described.  When I go to use the"move" tool, it will slide the layered image all around but there are no 'handles' or "grid" view to "grab" and flip the portion of the image I am trying to flip.  Please advise.  Have tried multiple ways of doing it and nothing is working. Trying to flip a lensball image.

    Further to the post by Greg S above, in step #4, try the transform tool instead. With Layer 1 active, press CTRL+T. Hover the cursor a tad outside the bounding box and you should see the arrow to flip. Confirm with the checkmark when ready.
