How to Flip Background Images

If you ever need to flip a background image, but don’t want to flip the other contents on your page, follow the steps listed below. 

Click the Layers button in the left toolbar.

Next, you can select “Toggle Background Layer only” or uncheck the “CONTENT layer” to hide all the elements on your page except the background.

You may also notice the Background Mode reminder as shown in green.

Select the background image so that you can see the small blue circles that outline the background image.

On the far right side of the designer, open the photo settings by either clicking the Advanced Menu toggle button, or by clicking the Photo Settings tab itself.

If the background image is successfully selected, then you should see the background image in the small preview. Click the drop down menu next to Flip and select which way you would like to flip the background.

    That option is not on the left side of my screen It looks familiar so maybe it was last year? I don’t see any of the “view Preferences” options.

    Also, would be helpful if the help window could stay open when I go back to try it out. It goes away and I have to search all over again.

    Hello,
    Sorry I will get that screen shot updated right away. The “Background Mode” now exist as “Background Layer” under the layers menu under “Actions”
    The following steps will still work as shown.
    Thank you!
