Lightroom (Vista):  Reversed/Mirrored Images in Preview!

New user to Lightroom 1.2 here using a Vista PC.
When I connected the camera (Canon G9 or Canon SD870is) to my PC via the USB, Lightroom was already opened (as recommended by the Kelby Lightroom book). At this point, a pop up dialog box opens up and there is a small check box at the bottom LEFT corner that says "Preview", which I checked because I WOULD like to see/preview the images. Oddly, the pictures showing up (to the right side of this dialog box which expanded after I checked the "Preview" box) are MIRROR images or at least REVERSED!
May I know why that is the case and whether or not there are user changeable settings? It seems to me that it is not desirable to have reversed preview images!
Thank you in advance!

Hi Jay & Rob,
Thx for your comments/advice.
Today, I used my Sandisk Extreme III's included MicroMate USB card reader (very small, more like a wide-looking flash drive with a little slot for the SDHC to go into. It worked. The previewed images are no long mirror images.
Does this basically mean that there is no hope for the Canon G9 to ever change? I was informed in the Canon forum of dpreview by some folks that Canon, as a general rule, does NOT issue new firmware upgrades UNLESS there is a serious issue. That is to say, they don't issue firmware upgrades just for the sake of new functionalities, only if they HAVE to due to some defect. Actually, this IS a "defect", in my view. Not being able to work properly with one of the most popular and respected programs in the photography world IS a problem/defect.
What to do now?
On the other hand, as annoying as this is, I should only see the Preview thumbnails briefly, just to identify which pictures to "check mark".
I wonder why it is considered so "bad" to connect the G9 directly to the PC? I like it more because it decreases the possibility of breaking the little flimsy door of the battery/SDHC card compartment (less opening/closing = less chance of breakage). I don't find the speed to be that horrible. The 10 pictures or so I downloaded using the MicroMate card reader (given free with my Extreme III card) took just about as long as it would have from the G9, but then again, 10 pictures is not much...should it have been 150 pictures, it might have made a more substantial and noticeable difference.
any comments please? thx in advance!

  • Getting mirror images on Pages

    Out of the blue I'm getting text in mirror image on preview when printing out pages. I am able to use settings to check "mirror image" so the text prints out ok but it is annoying to have the preview show up in mirror images. I'm sure it's something I did but I don't know how to correct it. Thanks for any help.

    What version of Pages '09?
    If you are having the problem on the 24" iMac you need to isolate what you have different there.
    Check through your printer settings side by side with the 27" iMac.
    Check that you have all the same versions.
    Check if the problem also exists with other software on the 24"
    I would start by trashing the printer on the 24" iMac and creating a new one with the latest printer drivers:

  • How do I print as a "reverse or mirror image" on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 model # N911a

    How do I  print as a "reverse or mirror image" on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 model # N911a

    I have spent hours figuring out how to print a t-shirt transfer since my new HP printer doesn't seem to allow for mirror image printing (yet my old HP printer easily let me select this feature).   Here's what worked for me, using Word 2010:
    Create the text and insert any images  into the document as you normally would.
    Go to Insert / WordArt and chose a style of lettering (I don’t think it matters what you choose since you will be cutting and pasting the data from 1 above).   A text box will appear and a new "double-decker" tab will appear at the right (Drawing Tools on top and Format below).
    Copy what you created in step 1 and paste it into the text box.
    Click on the Format tab (the cursor must be inside the text box for the Format tab to be visible).
    Choose Text Effects / 3-D Options and then 3-D Rotation Options.  A dialogue box will open.  For the X value, enter 180.  Do not enter anything for the other values.  Your image should have rotated to mirror image.
    Click Close and save your document.
    You should now be able to print your document as usual.
    Good luck!

  • Why does iChat video preview show a mirror image of the webcam picture?

    When I open video preview in iChat on my iMac OS X 10.4.11, the video image I see from my Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 webcam is a mirror image of what the camera is pointing at(ie printed material can't be read cause it's backwards as in a mirror.)
    Is this a function of iChat or of the webcam? And, can it be corrected so a true video image appears instead of the mirror image?

    Hello Oceanbeach9
    iChat's picture-in-picture and Snapshot is "mirrored" by design.
    We are so accustomed to seeing ourselves in the mirror that it looks strange the other way. Your Chat friends and movie clips are normal. Only the preview is mirror-image.
    If you plan to post or email a snapshot image, you can change individual snapshots made with iChat by opening the file with Preview and using the Preview > Tools > Flip Horizontal menu command.
    You can add iGlasses 2 software iF you really want to change your iSight's image.

    Hi,
    Please provide more information ... such as:
    - What are you trying to do? e.g. "Trying to import images from CF Card I get this message"
    - What PC are you using? e.g. "Mac, PC, memory etc"
    It is quite a cryptic thread but it sounds like you are trying to import directly from a CF Card, if you are copy the images to the hard disk then import.

  • Reverse printing a window (Mirror image) in smartforms/scripts

    Hi,
    Is it posible to do a reverse print of a particular window(Mirror Image) in smartform/script output?
    Scenario:
    I have 3 windows in the smartforms.
    Window1
    Window2
    Window3
    I want to print Window1 & Window3 normally & Window2 upside down like a mirror image.
    Regards,
    Sree

    Hi friend,
    One suggestion if you are printing your company logo or some thing like that in the window2 then you can invert the image using paint and then again upload it.
    Else if its some sort of text like that then you can rotate it using some functions like '^FWR' like that there are functions to rotate the text.
    Or else you can handle this using or setting the printer settings but i think its not possible to change the settings for only one page.
    See the Link : [Printing vertical text in Smartform|Printing vertical text in Smartform;.
    In this the post by Julie LV will be helpful to you.
    I think this will solve your issue if you face any queries please revert back to me i will help you.
    Thanks,

  • What software besides iGlasses can reverse the mirror image in iChat?

    I'm trying to use iChat to stream video of multiple animators and artists around the country looking at each others drawings, instructions, & messages and settings on their computer screens. The iSight cam's mirrored image produces everything backwards - eCamm.com's software, iGlasses, thankfully, reverses the mirror image making it possible for our artists to read each other's instructions. Unfortunately, the iSight cam's quality is not good enough to read the small type on their computer screens. We can use more expensive video camera's with firewire connections, but iGlasses isn't compatible. Is there any other software we can use besides iChat so we can read each others screens and data using more expensive cams and not having to read everything backwards? Probably a unique need but any help much appreciated.

    Thanks, Bill. This is a very cool alternative that I never knew about. We'll try it out for sure. We're also trying Apple Remote Access and other VNC software to acccess the various computer screens, as hosts and clients, but so far haven't succeeded. • • Also, we need to see video streams of the artists drawing on paper while they're drawing. So we still need a high quality video conference set up for fine detail. Again, Thanks!

  • My iphone 3 GS shows mirror image i.e backward/reversed text when switched on or woken up ?  Any explanations or solutions?

    Hi, my i-phone 3GS suddenly started showing all text in reverse or mirror image when it wakes or is switched on.  By toggling the on/off swtich it may revert to normal eventually but it takes time.   Problem is recurrent for 3 days and makes the phone unusable in a hurry.   Any explanations or solutions.

    Add me to the list of disgruntled users who have had this same problem since upgrading to 3.1. After restarting the phone, it works for about 30-40 minutes and after that, no calls, no texts, no voicemails, no 3G web browsing or email (wi-fi still works).
    The tech at the Genius Bar (at the 3rd St. Santa Monica, CA store) seemed as though he had no idea what the problem was. Since my phone is out of warranty, he told me that if the phone needed to be replaced, it would be at my expense, which p*ssed me off, since it was obvious (to me) that the OS update was at fault.
    I did a half-dozen restores before I realized that there was no way to roll back to a previous version of the OS and that outside of that, it didn't really matter what I did.
    I just read the tip on this thread about turning off 3G. It works fine so far. We'll see if it continues to work after the dreaded 40-minute mark.
    Thanks, everyone, for the help. Hopefully, Apple will put out a fix quickly, before they have a revolt on their hands.

  • How to reverse photos? photo booth needs reversing, it is a mirror image.

    The photobooth pictures are mirror images.  Most photo/picture software offers a "reverse image" as well as "rotate" choices, but I cannot find a way to do this in iphoto or photobooth.  Is it possible?

    This is what we are asking for in iPhoto, not flipping, MIRRORING!!!
    This was done in Microsoft Photo Editor. Thanks. The click photo while holding down contorl is supposed to give one the mirror option in iPhoto, although,... I can't get it to work.
    It should not be this complicated,...come on Apple!!!

  • Change object view to reverse or mirror image to itself

    I am using Illustrator CS3 and have Windows XP. I have a vector object that I would like to flip over,or see the mirror image of it. How do you do that?
    Doug

    If you mean you want to see a mirrored image of the object as you draw and manipulate it, you can do that using the live effect found in:
    Object>Distort&Transform>Transform. In the dialog, enter 1 for Copies, and turn on the Reflect X checkbox. Set other options (horizontal or vertical move distance, proxy box handle point, etc.) as desired.
    Another method:
    1. Select the object. Symbols Palette flyout menu: New Symbol. In the resulting dialog, select Graphic and click OK. The object is now a Symbol Instance.
    2. AltDrag the object to make a copy of it. Use the Reflect Tool to flip it horizontally or vertically, as explained in Post 1.
    3. DoubleClick either of the object's Instances on the page. That puts the Symbol in Isolation mode. Edit the artwork as desired. When done, rightClick it and select Exit Isolation Mode. All other Instances of the Symbol update accordingly.

  • How do I print a mirror image?  Where did the old functionality go?

    Within the last several months I was able to print a mirror image of my document to my HP DeskJet F4180 in high resolution. I don't know if it is the new HP drivers, or my new Snow Leopard OS but now I can' figure out how to do it again. I can grab a screen shot in and flip it in Preview but it ends up printing in low resolution.
    I have printed mirror images in the past from my PDF applciations and I think from Office 2008 (PowerPoint). I find no documents saved on my hard drive that come up saved as a reverse image so I suspect that I was using a printer feature not an application feature to print mirror images.
    Where did this functionality go?

    Found it!
    Use the check box marked Flip Image. Didn't is say mirror before?
