@northy Thanks very much - not particularly down, just seemed like an apt title for the given pose. So anyway...how the heck do I invert? @juliedduncan Thank you very much - it's a mini me! @ukandie1 Thank you kindly :) @ukandie1 Thanks very much indeed @lifepause I'm fine - no more miserable than usual, it just seemed like an apt title for the shot...but thank you so much :)
@northy@graemestevens In Lightroom, in the develop module, go to tone curve, and slide the right point all the way down, and the left point all the way up. Done.
@eyeamlisa Thanks very much. Now for the last time, send the brownies ;) @spanner Thank you very much :) @rangerxenos Thanks very much :) @bill_fe@northy Gotcha - thanks - I'll give a try on the next one :) @bill_fe BTW, thank you muchly @northy No PS, just Lightroom, I shall take Master Bills advice for LR and see what happens ;)
I love your juices - the creative ones I mean :) Very nice! Wish I could think of stuff like this, but I'm pretty much of a birdbrain - birds are more my thing these days :)
@northy Hmmm, It should be fairly simple, I've only done it once before tonight, with a color image and it was the same process, just slide the points straight up and down, one at a time.
@bill_fe which version of lightroom are you using? in mine there's a graph thing and then 4 separate sliders... played with all of them and nothing gets me close to an inversion...
@northy@bill_fe Likewise on my version - bust slidey sliding and nothings happening @maggiemae Thank you so much - far too kind :) @kt8ird Thanks very much - I took the photo of me way down the other end of the garden and then everything else is LR - I'm only a newbie as well
@bill_fe@graemestevens ok... clicked on the point curve box and the sliders disappeared and then was able to move those points around... and got it to work :)
@graemestevens Excellent, thanks for sharing. I tried to invert one of my photos as well and it worked. My sweet mouse Melodi looks quite evil with the colors inverted.
@kt8ird You're more than welcome :) @jaynspain Thank you so much, always appreciated @voiceprintz Thank you very much :) @trinda Could be a bit of both I think...not sure whose skeleton I'll find... @shepherdmanswife I think that's why I'm down...my least favourite of the holidays...and thank you so much :) @annied@annied Thank you very much (again)...it just seemed an apt title for said shot. In more mysterious news, the game is afoot!
@tracie8266 Thanks very much...and not at all :) @pinkpaintpot Thank you kindly :) @wearing0 Thank you very much :) @lorrainelouise Thank you very much, appreciated @newbank Thank you nice lady...and yes, I feel violated @annied Especially if they're going somewhere at a great rate of knots... @blueberry1222 Thanks very much :) @nicoleterheide Thank you very much :) @megstorey Thank you very much :) @maishanny Thanks very much, appreciated @andy3168 Thanks very much, much appreciated
Isn't there a minimalism technique challenge out there right now? This is very cool. I think a miniature Graeme doll needs to go into production right now. ;)
@brigette Thanks very much - Lightroom is my friend :) @darylo There was a challenge, but as usual I was too slow...now theres a gift no one would buy ;) @ceilidh Oh...now I feel slightly violated ;)
@graemestevens See, two people want a Graeme doll! Get a prototype rolling and contact the manufacturers! It could come with a whole series of tools, knives, flame throwers, oh jesus, it'd be awesome. You're welcome.
@jess1204 Thank you very much - I started by increasing the exposure and contrast slightly, then the whites, then I painstakingly spent about an hour using the brush tool on the highest exposure to go over everything that I didn't want in the shot...so what you can't see is my shed, the fence, the neighbours house and my vegetable garden... @harbie Thanks very much :)
@graemestevens do you use GIMP - it's one of the few things that's pretty straightforward on there. I use Lightroom but I've no idea how to invert on there
@graemestevens I forgot to say, you can't invert in LR but if you download Faststone Photo Viewer - it's free and a very useful viewer and editor - inversion is 1 click away.
As you were... you have just fallen victim to Other Operator Error Syndrome! Normally I read through all the comments before commenting myself, but there were so many and I was trying to catch up a bit, so I just scrolled down to the bottom and started typing away with my brain(?) in neutral.
You can, of course, invert in lightroom by reversing all the tone values using the tone curve sliders as Bill Fenske and Northy pointed out. By default the tone curve should be in Linear Mode - if not select it using the options arrow - and the four tone sliders should be visible... this you dont want, so click in the little graph box on the right when the tone sliders will disappear and the tone curve legend will change to 'Custom'. Now you can click and slide the bottom left corner to the top and the top right corner to the bottom which will invert all the tone values in your image whether colour or B&W. Or you can download Faststone and do it with one click... ;-))
Fabulous Image!! (I'm looking at these in reverse order btw)... By now I'm sure you've launched yourself into an amazing new stratosphere... Or unearthed a rotting treasure... or some other delightful thing :)
