Invert is a feature in Artisan that allows you to reverse the colors of an image or selection. When you invert an image, all the colors in the image are changed to their opposite values on the color wheel. For example, black becomes white, white becomes black, and red becomes cyan. The invert function is often used for special effects, to create a negative image, or to enhance visibility of certain details. The process involves selecting the part of the image you want to invert, and then selecting the invert function from Artisan's Filter ribbon.
