Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2018 Photos don't come out mirrored when taking with your front facing camera. I just tested! I think you are getting confused with pictures taken in mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's left to the user to do manually at a later stage, which invariably doesn't happen, so modern records are awash with backwards text, scars and piercings on the wrong side, and a disproportionate correlation between vanity and left-handedness. On a side note to this. An old photographers trick for doing corporate headshots was to flip the photos because the subject sees it as how they 'really look' (due to mainly seeing themselves in a mirror and instinctively likes them more. Doesn't happen as much today in the digital age but i know a few people who flipped proofs when they were trying to sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either I've completely imagined seeing enough examples of this to make me bother posting about it, or - possibly - your phone isn't representative of every other phone out there. I'll continue this thought in a moment, but there's some pillock the other side of the sink who thinks it's funny to dress like me and copy my every move, so he's about to get lamped.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) It's an old model Samsung, so likely representative of a pretty big share of the market. The point is, though, it's literally just a camera facing towards you rather than away. I don't understand why it would be any different than the back camera in how it works and why a phone manufacturer would intentionally choose to process the images in any different way. Unless they are doing what chokeout says, and actually flipping it on purpose so the user sees themselves as they would expect to in a mirror?

Guest Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 That's probably the reason, but I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted November 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2018 Why does modern hold music sound like it's being broadcast from the other side if the world, via a seashell? If hold music is supposed to soothe you while you wait for hours, listening to heavily distorted versions of songs isn't the best way to go about it.

Keith Houchen Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I still reckon that hold music is designed to be so nauseating that it makes you hang up, but not so blindingly obvious about it so they don’t have Metal Machine Music or something like that chewing your ear off.

I did wonder that actually, but didn't want to come off all Dynamite Duane. My council play about 20 different clips telling you about the services, play a bit of muzak and then about 5 minutes silence. It repeats after that. It's like an endurance trial.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted November 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2018 What is really annoying is when you're on hold and then a recorded message kicks in every 20 seconds or so, giving you false hope that the thing is been answered. Add to that if the message says "You're next in the queue" for about 40 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted November 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hold music sucks. I used to regularly be kept on hold by a company whose hold music was a copyright free knockoff of Clocks by Coldplay that consisted entirely of a weird sounding version of the intro repeated over and over.
