Adjusting Individual Layers within files

Hi All,

 

Is there a way to "Flip" an indivual layer (to its mirror image), without affecting any other layers in a file?

 

Thanks

The is only one visible layer above your  "Transition to white copy" layer Are you sure all layer above and below  "Transition to white copy" have flipped? can you show the layer stack before and after the flip? Artwork 3 looks like a texture may not be able to tell if it flipped or not the background white flipped or not..  The none visible Top Layer and layer above the background thumbnails will easily tell if all flipped or not.

Did you group or link your layers?

    I did not do anything, like grouping, etc., to the layers, other than locking the ones that I didn't want affected. But, when I selected the "Transition to white copy" layer, and had done the recommended steps, the entire file was flipped as a result.

      That is exactly what I had done before. However, despite my having selected the desired Layer, that caused the entire file to be affected.

      That would happen if, before executing the command, you selected all the layers and none were locked.Please post the Layers panel and full screen so that we can see what is going on.
