Transform a Regular Layer

Smart Object layers enable nondestructive transformations, which means those
transformations can be changed or undone without affecting the quality of the layer
content. Transforming a regular layer, on the other hand, is destructive and permanent.

1. With aftermath.psd open, hide all but the Storm layer. Click the Storm
layer in the Layers panel to select it.

2. Choose Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal.
The Transform submenu commands affect only the selected layer.
