Is it just your photos? Maybe you enabled Settings > General > Accessibility > Invert Colors by chance? Did you recently make any changes to your settings?

Perhaps a keyboard shortcut enabled the Accessibility feature, if so the entire screen

would be inverted or negative in OS X Finder for all applications... accidentally by use

of Four keys:


Command - Option - Control - 8 = to Turn the Invert colors setting on or off.


reference:

• Mac keyboard shortcuts for Accessibility features - Apple Support

• Mac keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support


Otherwise, less likely, the issue may have been caused by selecting a view option within an application.🙂

Yes, I see that (now) and understand there may be a difference in the implementation

of this feature formerly part of Universal Access that later became Accessibility.


Both OS X and iOS have an accessibility version; I'd guess the iOS shortcut may be

shorter or not require same keys (not present as such on the iPhone or other iDevice.)


• Use Accessibility features in iOS - Apple Support
