Whether the (0,0) pixel is in the lower-left corner
of the window, or the upper-left corner is a matter
of preference. The convention you choose to use is
set by the !Order system variable, which by default
is set to 0. To flip your image right side up, either
set !Order=1 or set the ORDER keyword to 1 on the
image display command:

IDL> TV, image, Order=1

Cheers,

David

Here is yet another solution to your problem which may (or may not) be
better suited for your specific situation. Instead of flipping the
image when issuing the TV command, you can flip the 3-D (or any-D) array
using IDL's
REVERSE function.

For example, assuming Image is a 3-D array interleaved by bit (i.e.
Image[RGB,Rows,Columns]) then the following statement will flip the
rows:

Image = Reverse(Image,2)

The second argument (i.e. 2 in the above example) tells Reverse which
index to reverse. The others remain unchanged.
