P3D Re: Reading pictures left to right

My Chinese parents always think that my slides look better when I put them
in the machine backwards.  (they were taught the old style of writting
chinese, right to left, in columns)  I must admit, I always scan for left
to right, having been raised in Canada, so always find it more "natural" to
have lines in my pictures leading from left to right.  Go figure.  I guess
there's always two ways of viewing things.

Vincent.
