There are at least two easy ways to do this.

1. Flip the layer using one of the Flip Layer buttons.

2. Or, if you don't wish to flip the layer, you can invert the scale of the image along X, Y, or both.

Hope this helps.

If this is a rigged character, you can flip the group the character is inside of, or flip the bone rig itself at the root. I would avoid the latter unless you designed the rig specifically to allow this. For example, you may get weird results if you're using Target bones in the rig and you flip the root bone.

On more thing: If you're flipping parts of a character and using the Flip Layer option, depending on how you've set up the character, you many need to reposition the origin (i.e., 'pivot point',) for the layer. Flipping occurs across the layer origin.
