Flip image vertically in one layer only inside Photoshop

When I have images in more than one layer and want to flip only one image,

going into image>flip vertically flips the images in both layers even if

the background layer is locked, I have reset preferences, but that made no difference.

Select your layer, do cmd/ctr +t for transform, right click and choose flip vertical... much faster than going to the drop down menu.

Hi Jerome,

As you want to Flip the image vertically, make sure that you have the correct layer highlighted in the Layers panel, then go to Edit and choose Transform, then you can Flip a particular layer Vertically or Horizontally.

Let us know if it helps.
Regards,
Sahil

Select the object on the layer, not just the layer itself.

Do a Select/All - get the marching ants then transform.

Also make sure the layers are not linked

Image flip is a canvas flip.

Select the object on your layer and go to Edit Transform/Flip Vertical
