What does the Invert effect change?

Invert reverses selected color or luminance channels to form a controlled negative image, with intensity blending available for partial inversion and solarized transitions. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Invert?

Choose Invert for album artwork and editorial covers, landscapes with clear shadow and highlight separation, or travel photographs with mixed colors when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains severely clipped channels, color-critical documentation, or images where an exact product color must remain unchanged.

About the Invert effect

Invert remaps channel and luminance relationships while retaining the source geometry. Its intensity control blends the processed output with the uploaded pixels, so the edit can remain restrained or become the dominant look.

Upload a photo, adjust the Invert intensity, compare its processed preview with the source, and download the finished result.
