What does inverting image colors do?

Inverting colors replaces each pixel with its complementary color (white becomes black, red becomes cyan, and so on), creating a photographic negative effect.

Can I partially invert the colors?

Yes. The intensity slider lets you apply anywhere from 0% to 100% inversion, so you can create subtle color shifts or a full negative.

Does the negative effect work on transparent images?

Yes. The inversion is applied to RGB channels only; the alpha (transparency) channel is preserved unchanged.
