Flipping a part of the text

Post by pdxrjt »

So I am making a book about my travels to Egypt. I have the title page in PSP with a number of layers: one for the main pic, one for the title in English and one for glyphs. I cleverly called the book Egypt. There is an installed glyph font which includes gods and hieroglyphs. All the of gods point to the left. I would like the ones on the left of the word Egypt to point to the right .... any ideas about how to do that? In case this is as clear as mud..... all of the Gods look to the left. I want the ones on the left of the word "Egypt" to look to the right, can I make text "reverse"? TIA (sorry-- using --PSP Pro X7 v.17.1.0.72 64 bit)

I do not have your text varieties but experimented
Try this to get an idea of how you can do it:
1. Use a transparent document 1000 x 1000 pixels
2. Place a small image / shape in the middle and centre it via Objects > Allign > Centre in Canvas
3. Type in your text / eg EEEEEEE facing the correct way ( I did this on the right side of the centred object ) this will occur on a new vector layer.
4. Apply and arrange / move to where you want it.
5. Layers > Duplicate
6. Make that new layer active and then do Image > Mirror > Horizontal and you have your reversed text / faces the other way.

... or ...
click on the middle right node of the "rectangle text" and drag it to the left side like if you turn a page.
