jrabbit, doesn't look like anything was flipped there. Cath, it's a bit hard to tell, but the mini-tutorial still doesn't look right. The reference image needs to be flipped. I think it would also be good to explain that this needs to be done (and the image needs rotating 180degree) in the tutorial instructions, since although I can see you've rotated the background 180 degrees, there are no instructions to do it, and it would be easy for people to miss. I guess a reminder too....I posted a tutorial along similar lines 2 days ago, and it's includes a free python script to do most of this for you! If you are going to the trouble of running HDRShop for image manipulation anyway, it's quicker, easier and more accurate to let the python script do all the work for you in Poser than to do it all by hand (as you've described here).
