[Ham-Computers] Re Photo Printing Issue

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

I solved the problem, but did not post the answer here on purpose. Why? Because
I am totally blind and sighted friends gave me incorrect information. I did not
want to seem unappreciative. 	
	
Here is how it works. The photo was printed horizontal, but scanned vertically.
The scanner does not care. If you view the photo on the CRT it is 90 degrees
off, either left or right, depending on how you scanned it. Hence sighted people
rotate the image 90 degrees. Not a problem. However, they told me to rotate that
image when I printed it, and that was dead wrong!	
	
The more I thought about it, the more I thought this was incorrect. So I did it
with no rotation and got a perfect 8X10 printed horizontally as it should have
been. 	
	
People look at a picture and describe it as vertical because the paper is
vertical, that is, more high than wide. Yet the actual image is printed
horizontal, more wide than high. So it is all in the proper term for the
orientation! 		
	
How many times have you told somebody it was on the left, but it was actually on
their right? You forgot your orientation in regard to theirs. When they face
you, your left is their right. 	
	
Thanks to Aaron for his excellent post with much great and helpful information
we can all profit from. Now sighted dudes, learn your left from your right
before you kill the rest of us off!
