I’m redoing a very rough squadron logo that includes a chess piece.

I’ve moved the chess piece to s separate layer to reform it.

In cleaning up the edges making it more symetrical I’m using the pen tool for nice curves, filling the selection, converting the resulting path into a selection, inverting it to erase the blotchy part outside of the selection.

Is there a way to flip the selection or path in order to have both sides of the chess piece exactly the same?

I tried Free Transform and it flips the selection area, but removes the good side. I guess it cuts rather than copies.

Thanks,

Dennis

Copy the fixed selection to a new layer
Flip the copy
Use the mover to line things up
Merge the 2 layers

On the top tool bar go to selection / transform selection. You can Transform { Ctrl + T } a Path but it must be in it’s own layer

save the selection, then flip it and add the saved selection sounds like it should work.
