I want to duplicate an image, then flip it horizontally and join it to the original

Anyone have some ideas on how to do that?

How did you manage to cough up the hundreds of dollars to buy Photoshop with such a tiny brain?

That really is a difficult task.

Yes, I think I might know how to do it, well, perhaps, but it is difficult.

Canvas Size, Copy, Paste, Flip Horizontal, Flatten Layers.

Flatten Layers is pretty risky as they are probably working with the original. Rather than risk ruining the original I believe they should contact a professional like Wal-Mart.
But, then again, Practice makes perfect.

With a flat image type cntrl-j, which makes a new layer … make that layer active and do Edit – Transform – Flip Horizontal … next do Image – Canvas size and double the width, checking either the center right or center left boxes in the Anchor box to choose which side you want the new blank area … now select the Move tool and the new layer, hold down the shift key to keep the layer aligned and move it until they line up.

Hint:

Any time you use copy and Paste inside Photoshop, you are making a mistake. It **IS NOT** necessary to use copy/paste to do this, or to move one image into another image, or to make a duplicate of part of an image.

The better, faster way to do this without copy/paste is:

Canvas Size, Command-J, Flip Horizontal, Flatten Layers.

To move one image into another, just drg it there with the Move tool.

Avoid copy/Paste. When you copy something, Photoshop must allocate memory to hold the copy. This slows Photoshop down and reduces efficiency. That is why the Photoshop programmers have given you faster, easier, more efficent ways to do whatever you are trying to use Copy/Paste to do.

or Purge>clipboard?
as this cannot be undone I assumed it would un-allocate the resources used for the copy?

This will recover the memory being used by the clipboard. However, it is still less efficient to use the clipboard in the first place than it is simply to move the image wherever you want.

The only real reason to use the clipboard in Photoshop is to paste an image from Photoshop into another image–and even then, there is probably a better way.
