April challenged me to invert a black and white image. dead easy on Affinity, change to BnW, slide some sliders, click the invert button, slide a few more sliders, crop and rotate, fill in the missing cropped corners, save.
I really do not get 'the point' of inverting an image, but once upon a time I didn't get abstract. I think I need to learn to do this properly view some images inverted cleverly to appreciate it!
@aecasey Hi April, sneaking this at the wire, not sure it was what you expected, but it was a first time at doing this. Any hints and tips for a better inverting experience gratefully accepted.
LOL Jackie - i loved your comments. I love inverting images!! If it's b&w you can sometimes get a sort of ghostly effect - but it's the colour inversion that I really like - but they have to be a good colour combo to start with. Greens and Yellows tend to go blue or purple and darker browns etc tend to go white or pale so small plants etc can appear to be floating in air. You usually have to fiddle a bit with the intensity of some of the inverted colours to get the best end result. They can be really cool - I think you'll get hooked on them!! :)
Filling in the missing cropped corners? I’m trying to imagine what you mean by that. I think this image looks pretty good, and if you force yourself to experiment some more, you might grow to like it...or not. 🙃
Nice try. Very abstsract feel. I found that inverting really forced me to stop and consider what contrasts I was working with. I find it works best with a dark subject against a light background, or vice versa.
@koalagardens thank you @aecasey I will have another go, I'll do some googling!! @joemuli ta @randystreat thanks for vote of confidence @dutchothotmailcom sorry @mcsiegle if you crop and rotate you lose some edging and corners, I'll play around more... @robz yeah about abstract, look what you got me doing....... @grammyn I'll try that out too
HI again Jacky - I figure fair's fair - now you've got me enticed into doing some inversions - so any weird uploads any time soon are all due to your encouragement....... :)
