Flipped Image

When I run the isight camera in xp via bootcamp by double clicking the isight icon under my computer a screen pops up allowing me to take pictures with it. However, the image is flipped horizontally meaning when I move to the left I can see the image of myself moving to the right. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

Nope, printing to a PDF "unflips" the image. And I get the same behavior printing to both my Epson photo printer and a Samsung laser printer. Not a huge deal, if I un-rotate the image and print, it prints flipped. Tried it with a recent digital (not scanned) image and got the same behavior. I discovered the "problem" after scanning a B&W negative taken back in 1973. I use an Epson V600 scanner and normally flip and rotate as part of the scanning process; however the scanner had problems determining the edges of the 35mm frame since it is a picture of a window surrounded in black. I had to resort to using the marquee and manually selecting the frame to scan. Doing so doesn't allow you to flip and rotate during the scan, so you have to do that in Aperture.
Again, not a big deal as long as I know how to manage it. And I rarely flip images - only in the type of situation noted above. I almost would not have noticed it, except that I was comparing the inkjet print to a silver print I made of the negative back in the '70's.
Thanks for all the suggestions to try and narrow this down, but I am perplexed that you do not seem to get the same behavior.

  • Does iPhoto flip images horizontally or is it my camera?

    As a Serious stamp collector, I am trying to scan all of my collection into iPhoto.
    (Only because there is NO dedicated software for the Stamp Collector).
    Problem is that images are flipped (Reversed) horizontally.
    Rotate will only turn the image upside down.
    I am forced to use (Preview, Photoshop, GraphicsConverter) to correct the pics.
    This seems to be a camera problem, as iPhoto and iChat images are FLIPPED.
    This fault could be easily fixed by simply adding a FLIP IMAGE BUTTON to iPhoto and iChat.
    My system uses a:
    1 yr old PowerBook 1.67 ghz 12in.
    OS X 10.4.6
    iPhoto v6.04
    Sony DCR-HC40 video camera using the Firewire option and from MemoryStick. ( I Haven't tried SONY USB or S-video output)
    Now that I wrote this post, I should give SONY a buzz and see what they recommend.
    Any Input on this subject is appreciated.

    SSC:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're taking pictures of the stamps for inclusion into iPhoto and they are coming out reversed, right? You're not actually scanning them.
    Check all of the menus on the camera to see if there is an option to flip the image. It sounds like there should be one. Are normal photos flipped? Are you using a "macro" mode on the camera? Check those out to see if the answer is in there somewhere.

  • Flipping images in Aperture

    Is there a way to flip images like you can in Photoshop? I want to be able to flip certain images horizontally and vertically, but it doesn't appear that Aperture offers this function. I have been doing it with the external image editor, which I have set to Photoshop, but I would rather not do it that way since the newly saved image is a huge tiff file. Does anyone know if and how you can flip images?

    Go the adjustment hud or the inspector add a flip adjustment from the + menu.

  • How do you flip image Horizontally

    I'm sure I'm looking right at it but can't find out how to flip an image Horz. I see rotate, but not flip.
    thks for help

    You can't flip horizontally in iPhoto. What I do is to export to the desktop and then open with the contextual menu item QuickView (you can get it at VersionTracker.com), rotate and save, and then import back into iPhoto. If you have a different 3rd party application that have flip images you could do that, even using it from within iPhoto by setting it up as your editor of choice for that particular item.
    Do you Twango?

  • Flip Image - HTML code for InDesign

    I am trying to create a flipping image in a digital edition and I found from the cookbook that there is an HTML code.
    The problem is that when I am clicking on the attachment file "Flip_HTML.zip", appears a white page with a message FILE NOT FOUND.
    Is there any other solution for that?
    Thanks

    Thanks Liam. I am a newbie at all of this and decided to use the widget contact form in muse which has an image verification module but when I test it I get a message that it has to be supported business catalyst captcha module so thought there was a html code for it.
    Thanks for coming back to me so quickly

  • Flipping images produces a slight distortion

    I use the flip image feature occasionally but I noticed an unwanted side effect. An image that had been scaled to 34.1% of normal size proportionally changed to 34.1% x -34.2% after the transformation. It doesn't have any real visual effect, but it does set off false alarms in my preflight for a non-proportionally scaled image.
    It's always nice to preflight a document and see zero errors, as opposed to seeing a bunch of error that are (problably, maybe, hopefully) harmless.
    Any way to flip an image without triggering these false alarms? I could go into Photoshop and make a new file, but the resulting file clutter isn't a perfect solution either.
    Thanks,
    John

  • Flipped Images

    for some wierd reason every time that i drag and drop something to my desktop a folder called "flipped images" gets created on my desktop! but there is nothing in the folder.

    Did you happen to play about with folder actions? Ctrl-Click desktop & go to configure folder actions, see if theres anything about flipping images enabled in there

  • Lightroom 1.2 flipped images horizontally

    I've noticed since my update that several Folders have the images flipped Horizontally. Anybody else have this problem? Any ideas for a fix other than manually selecting images in bunches and flipping back. PITA..
    On a Intel iMac.

    No, mostly from a Nikon D200 and I really don't use Bridge anymore. It only happened recently after the update in files I hadn't gone into before the update, so I'm assuming, though that's a big if with computer stuff, that it happened because of the update. I also don't have mirror enabled. In fact, honestly, I'm not sure what the mirror function is,but I haven't ever used it.

  • VC3 will not allow me to resize, crop, or flip images in Windows 7!  Possible Bug?

    I have tried adjusting images in VC3 with Windows XP and have had no problem. However, after testing this unsuccessfully in WIndows 7 with two different brands of computers, I am almost positive this is a bug with the new operating system. Adjusting PNG images however works perfectly so the JPG file format seems to be the issue.  Can anyone else that is using Windows 7 confirm whether adjusting JPG images (flipping, cropping, resizing, etc.) works for them in VC3?  There is simply no response from my program when I attempted these functions.  The image just stays in its default state.
    Adobe tech support was absolutely no help on this when I contacted them (what a joke).  I have been pulling my hair out over this issue for days now so I am desperate for an answer from anyone who uses this program with Windows 7.  Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your quick reply, I am not running any kind of backup software at all, when I-Tunes is running, I can access all folders on my hard drive including the I-Tunes folders, but if I-Tunes does not open via the I-Tunes icon, I will get the timer displayed for about 20-30 secs, then nothing, and if I try to access the I-Tunes folders it will crash the explorer, but if I try to access any other folder before I try to access the I-Tunes folders, they will open without any problems.  It has got me totally puzzled and why should windows display a "remote............" error when just clicking on the computer option from the start menu, it is really all very strange!!

  • AlivePDF seems to flip image alond axis?

    Hi,
    In my flash file, I allow the user to rotate an image. After the image is rotated, the user can save the edited image as a PDF. I'm using AlivePDF for saves.
    Here is the problem: If the user rotates in the X or Y, the pdf image looks flipped along the respective axis(for example, if I rotate in the X, the image looks like it rotated properly, but the perspective is reversed). If the rotation is in the Z, there is no issue. The event listeners are attached to slider components.
    Here is an image to clarify-
    My question: How can I get the image to render properly in the PDF?
    Rotate Code:
    //rotate logo around the X axis
    logoRotX.text = "Rotate X: 0"
    logoRotateX.value = 0;
    logoRotateX.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, logoRotateXPos);
    function logoRotateXPos (event:SliderEvent): void
        logoRotX.text = "Rotate X: " + event.target.value;
        container.rotationX = event.target.value;
    //rotate logo around the Y axis
    logoRotY.text = "Rotate Y: 0"
    logoRotateY.value = 0;
    logoRotateY.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, logoRotateYPos);
    function logoRotateYPos (event:SliderEvent): void
        logoRotY.text = "Rotate Y: " + event.target.value;
        container.rotationY = event.target.value;
    //rotate logo around the Z axis
    logoRotateZ.value = 0;
    logoRotateZ.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, logoRotateZPos);
    function logoRotateZPos (event:SliderEvent): void
        logoRotZ.text = "Rotate Z: " + event.target.value;
        container.rotationZ = event.target.value;
    Save PDF code:
    createPdfBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, makePDF);
    function makePDF(evt: MouseEvent)
    var myPDF : PDF = new PDF (Orientation.PORTRAIT,Unit.INCHES, Size.LETTER);
    myPDF.setDisplayMode(Display.FULL_PAGE);
    myPDF.addPage();
    // add a background image
    var PDFsampleData: BitmapData = new BitmapData(BGContain.width, BGContain.height);
        PDFsampleData.draw(BGContain);
    var PDFjpg:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
    var PDFba:ByteArray = PDFjpg.encode(PDFsampleData);
    var timesbold:IFont = new CoreFont(FontFamily.TIMES_BOLD);
    myPDF.addImage(BGContain);
    myPDF.setFont(timesbold, 12);
    myPDF.addText("Disclaimer: This image is for visualization purposes only and is not a proof.",.5,10);
    // save PDF
    var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
    var pdfByteArray = myPDF.save(Method.LOCAL);
    fileReference.save(pdfByteArray, 'Your Sample.PDF');

    I fixed this by using ScaleX and ScaleY instead of rotateX and rotateY. Now, the PDF renders fine.

  • Script or function for flipped images

    Hi
    My team is an in-house creative team on a MAC environment. We do our own preflighting. From time to time vendors send us backward images. Some slip through the cracks before placing them in InDesign and we have to manually inspect each image before sending to a print vendor. Is there a script or an InDesign function that checks for this?
    Thanks,
    Johnny_Bigtime

    This sets the flip of every link and its frame to none. Note that the flip is relative to the Transform Panel's Reference Point
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
              tell active document
                        set IDLinks to links
                        repeat with myCounter from 1 to count IDLinks
                                  set absolute flip of parent of item myCounter of IDLinks to none
                                  set absolute flip of parent of parent of item myCounter of IDLinks to none
                        end repeat
              end tell
    end tell

  • Using 35mm Lense adapter (flipped images)

    Guys, i use cameras with mini35 mm apadters that flips my image...
    So, i see a few of ways to edit this material.
    1.Create an apple script, that would flip every mov that i captured
    P.S.: but this is not good idea, because, FCP doesnt understand any QT preview settings.
    2.Use real time effect that calls "Flop" in FCP. (that needs more powerful MacPro - its better)
    P.S.: this is more cool way, i used this with Full HD Uncompressed 8bit, MacPro Quad with Raid is nice one.
    3.Rerender all of material (flipped by QT) using Compressor firstly, and then edit and work with.
    P.S.: But! What codec to use? If we use Full HD Uncompressed as original, its okay, we can use Apple Pro Res HQ. But if we have for example, XDCam or DVCPro HD.... what codec to use? Uncompressed is not okay, because, there is no needs, that not gonna give us higher quality, just larger files...and recompression in the same codec would give us less quality then original...
    Realy, hard way, but...what if normal, cinematographers cant shut without 35mm adapters?
    what to do?
    Maybe somebody knows better ways?

    If it was me, I'd buy a flip unit for that adapter. Failing that, apply the flip-flop to ALL your footage after capture, render, export and reimport the flopped files and start from there. You might have to jump through some timecode hoops if you ever have to recapture (and reflop), but with a bit of care you should be OK.
    Just a suggestion. The flip unit's the way to go if you do this all the time.
    10 out of 10 for Jim's solution though!

  • Creating a double sided flag in indesign - flipping image problems

    Hi there - struggling to flip an image in idesign
    I want to create flags, which when printed will be on sticky paper and stuck to cocktail sticks to make mini flag poles to put in the drinks
    however when I flip the flag image (see example http://www.flags.net/BVIS.htm) it inverts the image and the wording reads back to front, I just want to flip the image to they will stick back to back like a normal flag. Any clues
    Not explained very well I appreciate but i want to create a flag

    If the image contains text that text will be flipped with the rest of the image.
    You're going to need to do this in Photoshop (with raster) or Illustrator (with vector) to maintain the integrity of the text.

  • Flip Image

    Help!  I am trying to flip an image.  I am in preview, but under "tools," the flip horizontal is not available to me (light gray). I can rotate, but not flip.  How do I go about getting flip to be in black letters?

    What format is the image file?  You may need to do a "save-as" operation to another format and work with that file.
