How to Flip image with Altair 294 on RAW 14 mode?

Hi. There is an option to flip image in RGB 24 mode, but not in RAW 14. Now it is flipped horizontally somehow, and I need it to flip back. How can I solve that problem?

Is it possible to change flip somewhere in .ini files bypassing Sharpcap interface?

"Debayer Preview=On
Output Format=PNG files (*.png)
Capture Area=4128x2808
Binning=1x1
Pan=0
Tilt=0
Colour Space=RAW14
Black Level=1000
...
#White Point
Display White Point=1"

Hi,

No, there's no way to bypass this in the INI file as it's actually the camera software that doesn't support flipping the image except in the RGB mode. The optics of your imaging system will often flip the orientation of the image (depending on the type of telescope and whether you are using a diagonal etc). If you need to flip the image back in raw mode then it's best to do that in postprocessing – either of the final stacked image or using PIPP to process a video and alter the orientation.

Cheers, Robin
