Charles p Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I have read a number of posts on flipping and really don't understand them. I have seagulls flying out of the photo, I want to turn them around to fly into it, everything else the same. I have tried many options but have failed. what can I do please?

Old Bruce Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I would need to see the photo, this sounds like it would be non trivial but not impossible. Probably involves selecting, copying, masking, blending and inpainting.

Charles p Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Originally RAW, a small file version. I have seen it done easily in other software but if you have an idea, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 1. Select the birds (e.g. with the Selection Brush) . 2. Press cmd–j (mac) / ctr–j (win) to copy them in a new layer. 3. Transform the entire layer or single selected birds as wanted. For flipping: > copy the selection width in the transform panel, > with the move tool move the mid-handle to flip horizontally, > paste the copied value after manual flipping to maintain its initial width. 4. Set this new birds layer temporarily to invisible. 5. In the initial image layer replace the birds with the sky by using the Inpainting Brush Tool. 6. Set the new birds layer to visible.

Ron P. Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I done almost the same as @thomaso, I selected each of the birds separately. Copying each to their own layer (CTL/CMD J). Then removed the originals as thomaso described using the inpainting brush. I flipped each separately using the menu command Arrange>Flip Horizontal.

Ah, I had ignored this menu, have been looking for the flipping buttons in the Toolbar – but in APhoto they don't exist, right?

In the Photo Beta 1.9.0.x we can add them. Otherwise, yes we have no buttons. thomaso and Ron P. 1 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.
