Hi Mike A, yes if you draw in an image in say the Front view, then when you reverse that view so it is a Back view then you'll see the image reversed. That's normal and it's how regular geometry works too.

For example this drawn in the Front view:


Will look like this when switching to the Back view:


Background images just behave this same way, if you place an image in the Front view when you switch to the back view you'll see it flipped just the same as the geometry shown above. If they didn't then it would be weird because if you traced some lines and curves over an image in the Front view when you switched to the Back view your geometry would not be aligned with the image anymore.


If you don't want it to be flipped in the reverse view you can either switch to the reverse view when you initially place it so that it will be oriented to that view, or you can mirror an image while in the Image command by grabbing a corner grip and dragging it to the opposite side like this:
