Inverting an Image to a negative

[Soquili]

Thanks Frances I never tried that before.

if its a black and white drawing, I'd just set contone dark color white and then contone light color black [in default setup thats a right click on the colorbar] - saves getting a 'bitmap effect'

The only time I have ever done this I used the live effects negative and that worked like a charm. Handrawn, I'll have to try your method to see how I like that.

The benefit of the Live Effects Tool is it changes all the colors, not just two colors as with a contone. So if you have a multi-color image, or a selection of images, vector and/or bitmaps, it makes all colors negative.

And the process is non-destructive. If you want to get back to the original, just remove the Live Effect.

[handrawn]

yes of course

incidently if you only have two colors and you prefer to use the contone method that is not destructive either - you can just change it back
