Whoops! I'm getting two different threads mixed up with my last posting. In another post I was looking for an indicator for a user in ID on how to distinguish how a photo was flipped.

For my original question on THIS thread, I am specifically talking Applescript. As for AppleScript, it looks like you're on the right track there for me. If the image is flipped horizontally, the properties for that image show a negative number for the vertical scale and the absolute vertical scale. The shear angle and the absolute shear angle also go to something funky... "7.01670929853488E-15"

This seems like an inelegant way of figuring out the flip, but it looks like that will work for our purposes in scripting up a "Flipped Photo Checker" applescript.
