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 Effects button, and then choose Adjust Color >
Invert from the Add Effects pop-up menu.
■ Choose 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 Effect, as described in the first bulleted option in this step. For more information, see
“Using Live Effects” on page 119.
