Inverting an image's color values

You can use Invert to change each color in an image to its inverse on the color wheel. For example, applying the filter to a red object (R=255, G=0, B=0) changes the color to light blue (R=0, G=255, B=255).

To invert colors:

1. Select the image.

2. Do one of the following:

• In the Property inspector, click the Add Live Filters button, and then select Adjust Color > Invert from the Filters pop-up menu.

• Select Filters > Adjust Color > Invert.

Note: Applying a filter from the Filters menu is destructive; that is, it cannot be undone except when Edit > Undo is an option. To maintain the ability to adjust, turn off, or remove this filter, apply it as a Live Filter, as described in the first bulleted option in this step. For more information, see Using Live Filters.
