I am trying to print a T shirt transfer sheet and am attempting to do a "mirror image"

Question

I am attempting to make a personalized T shirt. I need to print on a transfer sheet  a mirror image.  I went under preferences and changed to t shirt transer but when I print it comes out normal. Not reversed as it should so when I iron the transfer paper on to the T shirt the writing will be correct.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's no way to get a mirror image for printing in iPhoto 6 except when the photo is in a book. You can, however, use Seashore, a freeware image editor, as the editor of choice in iPhoto and it can flip the photo vertically to get you the mirror image. You can set it up to use from within iPhoto as follows:
Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General preferences under the Edit photo menu, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
