How Color Inversion Works
A practical guide to understanding and using image color inversion effectively
The Science Made Simple
Digital images use RGB values from 0 (darkest) to 255 (brightest) for each color. Inversion subtracts each value from 255, creating the opposite color.
Common Transformations:
- Black becomes white
- Red becomes cyan
- Blue becomes yellow
- Green becomes magenta

Professional Tips
Check Image Exposure
If your inverted photo looks too bright, the original was underexposed. Too dark? It was overexposed. This technique helps photographers quickly assess exposure without histograms.
Create Quick Color Schemes
Designers can invert a color palette to instantly generate a complementary scheme. This works especially well for creating dark mode versions of existing designs.
Spot Hidden Details
Medical professionals and researchers use inversion to reveal subtle patterns in X-rays, microscopy, or satellite imagery that might be missed in the original.
Test Print Negatives
Before printing, invert your digital photos to see how they'll look as film negatives. This helps predict the final print quality and adjust accordingly.
