At least (algebraic) geometers denote inverse image functor/extension of scalars by f*, direct image functor/restriction of scalars by f* and its right adjoint by f!. Because one wants to think of f being in a geometric direction, that is opposite to the morphism of rings. Geometrically minded algebraists (and sheaf theorists) follow this convention as well.
