| I saw a picture of somebody I thought interesting in a magazine so I googled that person and found the same picture again but it was the other way round. So how do I know which is the right one? (ie left side of face or right side of face? left hand becomes right hande or vice versa ?? ) |

| haha, just look at the picture from the original source. one person or another must have just taken the picture into photoshop and switched it around using that photoshop option |

The picture in the magazine was most likely flipped around, and you don't even need Photoshop to do it. They probably thought it looked better if the person was facing certain direction. I do that sometimes with illustration pictures from picture banks but never with "real people", ie if there's a name attatched you can't flip, the lay-out must be changed instead. Most people's faces look different from different sides, at least a little.
In the days before digital photography it was sometimes difficult to know which way was the right way, if the original was a slide. |
