I haven't looked at Paint.NET yet, but I would guess you could flip your selection by the following steps (if it is not automated yet):

- Create your selection
- Create a new layer
- Fill the layer with "paint"
- De-select and flip the layer (so the paint is facing the opposite way)
- Select the flipped paint
- Delete the layer

It sounds complex, but only takes a few moments.
