Description
This question arises often enough that I wanted a quick visual guide that I can refer people to.Transcript:
Select an area to copy+flip using the selection tools.
Copy - Edit menu, Copy or Ctrl+C or Cmmd+C (Mac)
(Copy will only work on the contents of a single layer, or on a layer folder)
Paste (Edit, Paste or Ctrl+V or Cmmd+V on a Mac)
Paste always creates a single new layer, even if you copied from a layer folder
The new layer is created exactly on top of the copied content, so you will not see the pasted content, although you will see a new layer.
Use the Move tool to drag the pasted layer to the side. Hold down Shift for a perfect horizontal or vertical movement
Use the Layer menu to flip the selected area
Use the Select menu, Deselect to finish.
You can also merge the pasted layer with the original layer

I was wondering if anyone knows how to upload a image on firealpaca and then place one of my sketches in front of it? I can't seem to find any videos that talk about it, is it even possible?

Sure, open your background image in FireAlpaca (File, Open).
If you are drawing the sketch in FireAlpaca, just add a new layer above.
If you are using Β scanned image, seeΒ Getting images into FireAlpaca Β to add your sketch as another layer.
You then need to select and delete the paper areas.
Depending on your needs, you can use the Eraser tool, or use the Magic Wand and Delete,
or if you just need the line art with no paper at all, set your sketch layer blending mode as Multiply, or use the Filter menu and Extracting lines.
