Here are the steps based on the provided information:
Steps to Duplicate and Flip a Layer Vertically
Follow these simple steps within the Procreate app to achieve a flipped copy of your image layer:
- Access the Layers Panel: Open the Layers panel in your Procreate canvas.
- Duplicate the Layer: Locate the image layer you wish to copy and flip. Swipe the image layer to the left. Next, tap on Duplicate to create a duplicate layer. This action makes an exact copy of your layer.
- Select the Duplicate Layer: Ensure the newly created duplicate layer is selected (it should be highlighted).
- Use the Selection Tool: Tap on the Selection tool icon (it looks like an 'S') from the toolbar.
- Choose Uniform Selection: In the Selection tool options that appear at the bottom of the screen, make sure Uniform is selected. This ensures the entire layer contents are selected and can be transformed uniformly.
- Flip Vertically: Look for the transformation options at the bottom. Tap on Flip Vertical. This will flip the contents of the selected duplicate layer upside down.
After completing these steps, you will have a duplicate layer containing a vertically flipped version of your original image.
Remember to adjust the position of the flipped layer if necessary using the Move/Transform tool (the arrow icon).
