I've been trying to find a simple way to take a selection, copy it, paste it back again and then flip it either horizontally or vertically while maintaining it's aspect ratio. I understand that I can manually use the transform tool and try to eyeball it but that is much more time consuming. Is there a simple way to do this that I am missing?

Thanks all

Maybe put into a local selection https://userbase.kde.org/Krita/Tutorial ... selections and mirror that via layer->mirror...

This does the job. It's a little more convoluted than I would like but solves the problem.

Thanks for the quick reply.

1. Use a Select tool to make your selection
2. Click the Transform tool (CTRL + T)
3. Go to the "Tool Options" docker window (should be by your layers and brush presets). Towards the bottom you should see some buttons that look like triangles cut in half. These are the Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical buttons Just click whichever you want and you will flip your selection.
