Photo Booth Captures Mirror Image

I love using the Photo Booth application to record quick videos and take photos. However all videos and photos taken in my Photo Booth display backwards - they are mirror images of reality. In other words, if I hold up a sign that says HELLO, in the displayed image, it reads OLLEH. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi tonyakay13: Try this: With Photo Booth running go to the Edit menu, select "Auto flip new photos". You may have to do something similar in your movie program.
