Invert the color

You can invert the colors in a texture image using the Invert tool.

NoteThe Invert tool only work on the active paint layer. That is, it does not have any effect on the underlying shading material color.

1. Click the Layers tab to display the Layers window, and set the layer display to Paint.
2. In the Layers window, select the paint layer you want to invert areas of painted color.
3. In the Paint Tools tray, select the Invert tool.

4. Stroke across the painted texture in the areas you want to invert the color.

   The paint within the region of the brush ring is modified to be the inverse color hue and color value in the areas that you stroke. No buildup of the invert effect occurs. That is, stroking successively on the same region simply inverts what you have already inverted.

   NoteHigher bit depth image layers (16 bit and greater) are recommended to reduce any edge effects that might occur along the edges of the inverted color area.
