How can I "flip" a photo so that it is a mirror image of the original?

I am a relatively new Photoshop user who is working on a couple of collages of children.   Some of the pictures I'm using have wording on them which shows up 'backwards'

when printed.    I'm trying to discover how to flip the photo creating a mirror image so that the wording prints legibly.  I just cannot seem to find the correct menu for this action.

Hi Claudia,

I moved your post to Photoshop General Discussion where it has a much better chance of being answered.

Sue.

Thanks.  I'm a forum 'newbie' and didn't really know where to post.  I eventually found my answer to other's Q's after I had posted.

You could also do a Free Transform, and enter "-100%" in the W field.
