Photoshop :: De-Thickening Text On Invert B&W?
Jan 16, 2013
I am using Master Suite cs5. I have an image that was like 90% black and 95%white. I need to reverse the color which invert can do but there are adjustments to be made before invert.
I am able to invert the colors after a contrast adjustment. ( i also tried posterize in 2 steps. However, when i do invert the letters get fatter and starts looking like it was written with a sharpie.
I know that there are pixels at the point where B&W meet and that the adjustment i am making spread them like a gradient over 3-5 pixels.
So, I was wondering what there a way to either de-thicken the text after invert? OR Is there away to make pre-invert adjustments so that it does not happen?
The invert on this image is purposely not pure B&W. Pure B&W is worse.

I have an STL (mesh file) file that I converted into DXF file, and then imported into Inventor.
The file contains a surface (meshed) I would like to create a thickness for each face. Since, the number of faces is very large, I cannot do it manually, is there an option/ trick to select them all, or perhaps a different way to create a thickness to the meshed surface.

Although a long time PS veteran, (currently CS5), for some reason I just never really got into the actions. Well a few days ago I learned a technique for making pencil drawings from photos and I surprised that I actually liked the results. Since a client wanted me to do this to many images, I thought it would be foolish not to create an action for it so I did so but every time I try to run the action, about half way through, I get the following message.....The command "Invert" is not currently available.
1. Check color mode of image
2. Make sure "add mask by default is checked in the adjustment layers settings
3. Make sure "add default masks on fill layer is checked in the layers panel options

Photo of boat in ocean. I want JUST the ocean as a layer-in the layers palette I would see the original image with a 'hole' in it-the boat would be missing. But when I use a lasso tool and copy to a new layer,
I a get new layer with the exact opposite- the original image with just the boat-the ocean is missing. Is there a simple way to invert this so I get the ocean as a layer? If not, how is the lasso tool used to get the background and not the subject of the photo?

We all know the invert function of Photoshop, easy and nice (well nor always but will fix this) to invert all colors.... The downside is than this trick will also invert luminosity... Light area become dark and dark area become light, this can ruin an image!
If you wish to invert an image and keep lighting intact the trick is really simple!
1) Open an image to be inverted
2) Duplicate you background layer (or the image layer), this layer will be used as a luminosity mask.
3) Select your original layer
4) Invert you original layer
5 (Optional) Link and Merge these layers
Done!
Trick : If you invert the luminosity(the copy of the original) rather the than original layer, you will inver the lighting of the image... Its also pretty cool!

If I select a Path or Work Path from the Paths Panel,then select a Layer from the Layers Panel,then Command-click the Make New Mask button (at the bottom of the Layers Panel),I get a new Vector Mask applied to my Layer....But it's inverted. The shape of the Vector Mask is hiding that portion of the layer. In other words it's like my mask is a cookie cutter and just made a hole in my layer.
How do I create a new Vector Mask and hide everything else on that layer except the area of the mask?

How to invert (inverse) a selection. Here is what I did:
*Selection made via a channel
*With the selection still visible, I created a hue/saturation adjustment layer. This then only changed only the the image area that was selected, as was expected.
*I next chose the "inverse" command under "select"
I went back to the hue/saturation adjustment but the same part of the image as before was effected, same as prior to my "inverse" command. I DID observe that the selection had changed when I chose "inverse," but the adjustment did not effect the new "inverse" part of the image.

When creating a new path in the paths palette, the thumbnail indicates with white, the area enclosed, and with grey, the area excluded. When I create new paths, it keeps indicating 'outside' the path as the area 'enclosed'. I then have to go through a painful process of converting path to selection, selecting inverse, converting selection to path and adjusting the new path to how I want it again.
How do I directly invert the (positive) area selected by the path?

i am using photoshop 7 + cannot figure out how to do something. i have a scan of a line drawing in black ink on white paper. first thing i want to figure out is how to make the white disappear so that i can select the drawing itself without the white box around it.
second thing: how do make the line drawing change color? i would like to make it white so that i can place it on a colored background + have it appear to be in relief?

Maybe it's because I have a mind-dulling headache today, but I'm just not seeing the way to either create an inverted vector mask or invert an existing one.
For example, in the following layer stack, I'd like the vector mask on the group to create a transparent hole in the image, rather than make the outer part of the image transparent. Note that the [Invert] button in the Properties panel is unavailable (grayed-out).
If I could have created the vector mask in the first place using the rectangle tool, but inverted, that would have been okay as well, but somehow the sequence to do that escaped me as well. I know how to do this with a selection, but I'd rather keep it in vector land.

I Have the latest version 16.3.0.1114.
Invert does not work. When I click on it, nothing happens. It is not grayed out. It's been doing it since 16.2.
Currently, I have to use X3 or X5 to invert stuff.

Is there a tool in Draw or Paint to invert a greyscale; in other words to make a photo 'negative' from a positive image (and vice-versa)? I seem to remember using such a tool some years ago but can't find it anywhere - if indeed it ever existed!
I've got a bunch of very old negatives and need to convert them.

I'm currently working on a forum template (phpBB), and I want to invert the colours of the background. I did it easily for some pictures, but I can't invert one of them.
It's a simple gif, I don't know why I can't invert it. When I go to the menu 'colours'->'invert', the option is disabled, even if I tried with several tools selected.

I don't do a lot of digital coloring or painting but when I do it's very comic book style. I have a method I use (you hay have seen it at polykarbon.com.)
This is how it works. Get some good clean line art in RGB mode.
In Channels, duplicate the blue layer and INVERT it.
Go back to the Layer fill the whole image with white. Then create two new layers above the background layer.
On the top layer, go to Select and pick Load Selection. Pick Blue Copy. You see the marching ants.
Fill this selection with black. Now you have a layer of your line art, a middle layer on which you can color without messing them up, and then a background.
I haven't been able to do this in Gimp. I'm willing to learn a new coloring method but I really like this one. It's easy and fast and really allows for a lot of customization. You can color the lines, do masks, etc.
My problem is the part about INVERTING the channel.
