The Invert command reverses all image colors and tones.
Editor: Filter > Adjustments > Invert
The Invert command produces a negative version of your image. The feature literally swaps
the values of each of the image tones. When used on a grayscale image the results are simi-
lar to a black and white negative. However, this is not true for a color picture as the inverted
picture will not contain the typical orange 'mask' found in color negatives.

Editor: Filter > Adjustments > Photo Filter
The Photo Filter was added to the feature line-up in Elements in
version 3.0 after first appearing in the CS version of Photoshop.
The tool applies a colored filter to your picture and simulates the effects that traditional
photographers could achieve by screwing a colored piece of glass, or gel, to the front of their
camera lenses. The change in color that this technique produces can be used for visual ef-
fect, such as making a cloudy day appear more sunny (by applying a warm-up filter) or to
help correct color cast problems like those displayed in the example. Here a Cooling Filter
(82) is applied to the warm image to help eliminate the yellow cast.
