I will use an acutal photograph BB :-), let's all try to harmonize.  I understand your logic, that if the Mirror ball that is the basis for the angular map is reflecting the Southen side ( that which is behind the photographer) then once it is unwarpped, & mapped to the sphere, it would need to be reversed. My question is, by simply applying the map doesn't the image get reversed because we are looking at it from ** Inside** of the sphere?  Not arguing, & I understand yours & Cath's  passion It what allows both of you to do the "impossible" within Poser. I'm just hoping to take a step back & look again at the "world" that our discussions has created.  I want everyone to take full advantage of the tools at their disposal ( & an end to hunger, & world peace... That's why I want to be Miss America....huh, wha...oh nevermind)
