thanks for your help, but i couldn't get that to work. i searched flip under help

though and came up with...
Rotating images A. Flip Horizontal B. Original image C. Flip Vertical D. Rotate 90�° CCW E. Rotate 180�° F. Rotate 90�° CW
To rotate or flip an entire image:
Choose Image > Rotate Canvas, and choose one of the following commands from the submenu:
* 180�° to rotate the image by a half-turn.
* 90�° CW to rotate the image clockwise by a quarter-turn.
* 90�° CCW to rotate the image counterclockwise by a quarter-turn.
* Arbitrary to rotate the image by the angle you specify. If you choose this option, enter an angle between -360 and 360 in the angle text box. (In Photoshop, you can select CW or CCW to rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise.) Then click OK.
* Flip Canvas Horizontal (Photoshop) or Flip Horizontal (ImageReady) to flip the image horizontally, along the vertical axis.
* Flip Canvas Vertical (Photoshop) or Flip Vertical (ImageReady) to flip the image vertically, along the horizontal axis. Thanks again!
