Mirror or flip image

Has anybody found a way within Aperture 2.0 to do what Photoshop calls "Flip Canvas Horizontal / Vertical"? (In Photoshop: >Image>Rotate Canvas>Flip Canvas) Is it possible that this feature is not built in to Aperture? This is an essential image evaluation tool I always use on the first run through a set of images; if you've never used it, try it out (in Photoshop). Aperture 2, are you reading this? Is there any difficulty adding Flip? I am really liking native RAW on my MacBook Pro, and I'm ready to dump Photoshop, but I need this feature!! Please let me know soon.

I don't think you can "flip" an image in Aperture - If I am wrong, someone please tell me
I would recommend against dumping PS - I don't like it either, but there are some things I occasionally need it for (like flipping an image

IMovie isight camera is mirrored or flipped

well when i record a video with imovie '09 the camera is mirrored or backwards something like that and i dont like cause when i move the left hand in the camera moves the right hand thats an example thit you know a solution to quit the mirrored or the backwards please..?

Hello George415
(0) If you have not installed iGlasses or some other third party software to flip your iSight image, you are likely seeing an optical illusion.
iMovie, like camcorders and other video editing software, actually does NOT reverse the camera image. However, many other apps do. We are so accustomed to seeing ourselves in the mirror that it looks strange when it it NOT reversed.
You can test this by holding something with text on it in front of your iSight. I think you will be able to read the text in iMovie's capture window.
However, when you try the same test with some other apps, like iChat or Photo Booth, you will see that the text is reversed. These are the apps that are actually "reversing" your iSight's image.
Unless you have otherwise reversed your iSight's image using some add-on software, using iMovie is merely a matter of getting accustomed to it. You surely would not want iMovie to show everything, including text, backward merely so it does not look unusual while you are using the camera.
If you want expanded info, keep reading.
Many, but not all, software applications show mirror-image iSight previews. However, different apps work differently.
(1) iChat's picture-in-picture and Snapshot is "mirrored" by design.
However, the view that your chat friends' see will be left-to-right normal. Only the iChat video snapshots you make and your video preview are mirror-image.
(2) You can change individual snapshots made with either iChat or Photo Booth by opening the file with your Preview application and using the Preview > Tools > Flip Horizontal menu command.
Full-featured image editing software such as PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements can also flip images that have already been saved.
(3) You can change future Photo Booth snapshots with the Photo Booth > Edit > Auto Flip New Photos menu choice.
More info is in Photo Booth > Help > Photo Booth Help. Search for Flipping a photo there.
(4) iMovie is different. Its preview window shows images right-way-around, as is the customary view for movie cameras.
(5) To flip saved video recordings, QuickTime Pro can do it easily. Use QT Pro's "Visual Settings" controls in the "Video Track" section of its "Movie Properties" menu command to flip, rotate, resize, and edit other properties of an already-recorded video.
If you do not have QT Pro but do have iMovie 6 HD, you can use iMovie 6 HD. Import the saved Photo Booth or iChat 4 video clip into iMovie and use iMovie's "Mirror" effect in Editing >Video FX to flip it.
(6) If you really want to change your iSight's image, you can add iGlasses 2 software.
If you frequently record video other than you sitting at your MacBook's keyboard with iSight and iMovie, you might be interested in the huckleberry device.
(7) If you are into no-cost, imperfect, and unsophisticated work-arounds, one kludged alternative would be to position a mirror as best you can so you are making video of your image in the mirror.
(8) If you need more, we will be pleased to detailed suggestions based on the specifics of the question in your response.

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.
PowerBook 1.67ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

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.

Flipped Images from Preview to iPhoto

I can flip images Horozontally using Preview. Save the file. Then import it into iPhoto and it is NO LONGER flipped.
What is wrong??

In preview use save as and un-check "use EXIF tags" and then import the newly saved image into iPhoto

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.

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
Georgia

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

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.

Reversed - backward - mirrored - flipped images

My 17 month old son loves the apple remote and somehow reversed the image on the TV through the apple remote. If we watch the TV by way of a single mirror it looks normal. Watching the TV itself is flipped/reverse/backwards. This makes menu navigation and option reading a challenge. I've looked for the option that would change the display orientation but haven't found it. I tried a reset and restore settings and that did not work either. I have not done a factory reset yet.
How does one unflip the Apple TV?
Thanks.

There is no such option on AppleTV, unless there's a hidden keypress selection to do so say for rear projection type applications (though I'd expect the projector to handle that). Could be a corrupt AppleTV software setting.
Any chance it's a setting on your TV?
Have you unplugged from the mains and rebooted rather than just software reset?
Cables ok? Try another?
Amazing how the kids by random keypresses find things you never knew existed though! My youngster found an iPod service menu within about 10 seconds of getting hold of it the other day.

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.

Flipping image left to right

I am trying to flip photos left to right. I know how to rotate but can't seem to flip for mirror image. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iPhoto won't do this. You'll need an external editor such as
Photoshop Elements
Graphic Coverter

How do you flip images in iphoto ?

i have mirror images that need flipping can i do it in iphoto 09 ... if not can i flip it an another software for eg image well and then have it saved as sich in iphoto ?

Some external editors that can do that for you are: Xee (free), Paintbrush 2.0.1 (free) and GraphicConverter. Each of these can be set to be used from within iPhoto.
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, 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.
