Color Inversion and Negative Effects
Color inversion transforms each color to its complementary color on the color wheel — red becomes cyan, blue becomes yellow, green becomes magenta. This creates a film-negative-like effect that can be striking and artistic. Inversion is also useful for creating accessible high-contrast versions of images.
In photography, the negative effect was the standard way film was processed before printing. Modern digital inversion mimics this process perfectly, and combining it with other effects like desaturation can produce unique artistic styles inspired by traditional darkroom techniques.
