How to invert colors, but not images?

I'm right there with you too. I have low vision and the inverted colors option is a great help, but to your point, the images within browsers are a problem. Extremely frustrating, and even more so when the "genius's' give answers that have absolutely nothing to do with your question.

Use Adobe Photoshop for image editing if you want loads of extra options.

Visit http://www.photoshop.com/ for more information.

Adobe Photoshop supports layers, so you can select the part of your image that you want to invert the colors from, cut it as a layer, and then you can invert the colors using layer style.

Hey you can go to General-> Accessibilty->Accessibilty Shortcut and then you just click on Invert Colors and when you click 3x the home button it changes to invert. so when you need to see the pic in normal colors u just click 3x, get me

This task is not possible in ios10. It will invert everything. However, coming to iOS 11 there will be a feature called smart invert. This function will invert everything . It will not however invert photos and other images. If you can hold on till then. Or become a public beta tester and try it early.

The Accessibility panel is not scriptable with AppleScript, and that Display Invert colors is applied to every viewable object in the display. It cannot be made to show images in normal color, and everything else in negative.

What you need, is an image application that offers an invert color filter to reverse the initial negative image in that application.

• Gimp (free) provides a color ▸ invert menu item that produces a normal image with Accessibility Invert colors enabled.
• Affinity Designer (OS X App Store) has Layer ▸ New Adjustment ▸ Invert
• Affinity Photo (beta) has Layer ▸ New Adjustment Layer ▸ Invert Adjustment
• Pixelmator (OS X App Store, free trial, requires OS X 10.10) - not tested since I am writing this on Mavericks
• Other image applications that support image invert

I know exactly what you are asking for, I want the same thing. I am not vision impaired but i do like the inverted interfaces and software since white with black text is harder on the eyes (i like dark screen light text like the matrix 🙂)

Unfortunately it cannot be achieved with apple's built in inversion. Also, these guys above are suggesting manually editing the images in an image software, meaning they completely missed the point (if i want to look at web images fast on a site, why would i download and edit them all manually, thats a huge waste of time.)

your only option is to leave your inversion settings normal, and explore options with "skinning" your UI. Skinning allows you to download a small program that modifies your operating system to display modified colors, styles, etc. Some of them suck, some of them are really nice. Also, I've never done it on an apple, just a PC. But if you find a good combination of software, you could potentially make all your Finder windows, and OS screens a customized color/style. This can also be done in some browsers via browser plugins/addons. The only limit will be websites. Unless you create or find a browser addon/mod that allows you to "flip" all the colors in any site to the exact RGB inverse (black to white and all colors too) there is no way to view websites in inverse. Apples built in inverse can do this because it modifies the colors directly on the screen (flipping them all automatically, above everything else, on a hardware level, if im not mistaken).

here are some other links i found super fast on google;

It doesn't work outside of the browser, but this Chrome extension is one I used (almost) all day everyday. It's called Deluminate and you can see it in action before you install it here: http://deluminate.github.io/

Yep, I would like this too. Working in deep contrast but keeping the images not inverted would very cool when working in dark surroundings.

Please Apple - add as an option?

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Hey, you can go to

SO VERY HELPFUL!!! THANK U!! PERFECT! & SO EASY!!

THE PERFECT ANSWER IS AT THE VERY bOTTOM!!!

Tjasatja's post did not address the OP accessibility issue which is on a Mac, not an iOS device. Therefore, it is not the best answer, however useful it may be to some using iOS.
