rotating image ='s text problem - PLEASE advise

I was given a disc with 75 pictures on it to deal with. The images are scans of old photos, and many of them are scans of a whole page from an album. There is handwriting on many of the photos/pages that I want to keep intact.

My big problem is this: Many of the photos/album pages were scanned in a way that makes it neccesery for me to rotate/flip them into proper position. When I rotate them, the handwriting comes out backward/mirrored.

I kind of recall running into this before on an unimportant somethingorother I was working on, but since it wasn't important I left it be.
I will very much appreciate advice on how to rotate these photos without jumbling the writing on them.

Thankyou,

OK. Panic-attack over. Seems the text stays intact as long as I rotate the image and don't flip/flop it.
I don't understand why flipping ruins the text and rotating doesn't, but I am glad the solution was as simple as using a different method to turn the photos. Sorry for the bother,

when you rotate an image it is moving / rotating around a central point, so text won't flip or anthing like that, it just rotates around the centre, so it will be upside down, diagonal or whatever................

when you flip the image, you are creating a mirror image of it, and so the text turns backwards, the same as trying to read text through a mirror................

anew.
