1. With cd-artwork.psd open, show only the Background layer.
2. Click the Background layer to select it and then choose Edit>Transform.
The Transform submenu commands are not available for the locked Background layer.

Many commands are
not available because
the Background layer
is locked.

3. With the Background layer still selected, choose Image>Image Rotation>
Flip Canvas Horizontal.
To affect the locked background layer, you have to flip the actual canvas.

Note:
Although the Background
layer exists by default
in many files, it is not a
required component.

4. Show the Logotypes layer group.

Because you flipped the canvas, the Title-text and Logo layers are also flipped left-to-
right. Rotating or flipping the entire canvas affects all layers in the file; this is obviously
not what you want to do.

Because you
flipped the canvas,
the logos are now
backward.

Showing the layer
group shows all
layers in that group.

5. Choose Edit>Undo Flip Canvas Horizontal.
The Undo command affects the last action you performed;
the actual command changes to reflect the action that will be
undone. Showing or hiding a layer is not considered an “action,” so the Undo command
simply un-flips the canvas. The Logotypes group is again hidden, as it was when you
flipped the canvas in Step 3.
