Rich, it depends on which camera you use to take the picture. If the FRONT camera then, yes, the image is the same as if someone used a regular old-fashioned camera. If you use the REAR camera (the selfie-camera), it allows you to see yourself in the display while taking the picture so can frame the image you are taking. Also, since a lot of folks use the selfie camera as a means to check themselves out, the camera displays the image as a reflection (as if you are looking in a mirror). The easiest giveaway of a selfie is that the text is reversed. So the OP took her selfie with the REAR camera. In order to have the image look the same as other folks see her, the entire image needs to be flipped back.
