Technically Speaking
Some of us have a hard time understanding how certain technology works and of course, it’s okay to ask for help, except in this case, we’re not sure anyone in the world can help. Sure cameras have changed and advanced in many ways but apparently, this person doesn’t realize that the basic principles remain the same.
There’s no way to get their son to “face forward” once the picture has been taken and no amount of “Flip Canvas Horizontal” or “Image Invert” can help. Maybe next time, they should take a second to ask their son to face the camera or just get someone else to click pictures for them.
