Cover everything but her foot on the ground (also cover the shadows)

Concentrate on that foot and think: its her RIGHT foot, that rotates COUNTER-clock-wise.

Slowly look at more and more of the whole image.

I concur that this was the best way to do it. I know for me it was anyway. I wrote basically the same thing earlier:

[ QUOTE ]
Cover up the entire screen except her foot that is on the ground, make sure you can't see the foot that is in the air AT ALL. Use your hands, cardboard, whatever you need to so that you ONLY see the foot she's pivoting on.

Whatever way you see it spinning, imagine it going the other way. Realize that it can actually be going either way but make it go the "other" way with regard to the way you always see it going. Once you see that the foot can go either way and make it go the "other" way, just slowly move your hands or whatever you were using to cover the rest of the screen and her whole body should be going the other way now.

Give that a serious try a few times and I bet it works.

i'm thinking you could be right, you don't even need to open 3 from each... if you open 2 from the same site they always go the same but if you open 1 from each they sometimes go differently... if it's a mirror of the exact same image wouldn't you see it the same on both always?

edit: nevermind, i can make them all spin one way or the other, sometimes at the same time which is what confused me

I feel your pain. When you look at just her foot, keep telling your brain to believe that as her toes are coming towards you (on the right), they are actually going away from you.

I see her rotating clockwise. If I kind of defocus my eyes I can make her go counter-clockwise.

At least I can with the one that's been rotated 90 degrees.

To anyone not able to see it spin the other way try turning your head to the side.

Like JZ and Broktoon said, try covering everything but her foot and imagine it going counter clockwise. Once this works you've changed your focus and she will be rotating counter clockwise.

Also check earlier in the thread for the Chaplin video, it has some explanation for the adjustments to imaging we do.
