    Default Front Camera/Self Portrait photos flipping - NO option to reverse

    I know this has been discussed before and "answers" to this question are readily available via a google search, but here's the issue.

    Sprint Galaxy S3 obviously. Latest update. Stock rooted.

    When I access the camera and change it to the front camera/self-portait and take a photo, it flips it. Suggestions online insinuate there is an option on the 'cogwheel' to disable or reverse "Auto Flip Picture" or something similar.

    When I select the cogwheel and the front camera is enabled, the options are as follows:

    - Edit Shortcuts
    - Burst shot (grayed out)
    - GPS tag
    - Self-portrait (on obviously)
    - Flash (grayed out)
    - Shooting mode (single shot)
    - Effects (no effect)
    - Scene Mode (grayed out)
    - Exposure Value (0)
    - Focus Mode (grayed out)
    - Timer (off)
    - Resolution
    - White Balance
    - ISO (grayed)
    - Metering (grayed)
    - Auto contrast (grayed)
    - Guidelines
    - Auto share shot
    - Anti-shake
    - Contextual Filename
    - Image Quality
    - Storage
    - Reset


    How exactly do I obtain this 'option' to reverse the 'auto flip picture'? It is extremely annoying to have to save the picture, upload it to a PC or other image editing app and manually flip it that way.

    PS: Yes, the phone is rooted (same procedure used as described on this forum) - but it is STOCK rooted. This is my only question on whether or not this may 'disable' or 'remove' that as an option...but that wouldn't make sense, why would rooting a phone eliminate a setting from a camera app? Problem has persisted from the older version to the newest version 4.1.2

    There doesn't appear to be any way to do it in the camera app. Many photo editing programs, though, offer the ability to flip an image. I haven't looked at any of the Android ones, but I suspect some of them provide this ability.
    PLEASE, when asking for help provide as much information as possible. Otherwise, it's like calling your doctor and saying "My head hurts." Your doctor can't treat you unless he knows whether you have a headache or a concussion, and we can't help unless we know what the symptoms are and what you did before they occurred.

    If I've helped you, please press the Thanks button.
