Taking pictures in inverted colour mode

shinnen · Tuesday at 9:32 AM

Hi all,
I would like to take pictures in the inverted mode, so that I can download them to my computer,
and not have to invert them afterward. Is that possible.
Any help is appreciated.

OK. I guess no one knows.

It may be that people are trying to understand exactly what you mean by ‘inverted colour mode’?

You can invert the colours of the screen display of an iPhone, but as far as I know there is no way to invert the colours of pictures you are taking with the camera.

Hi Aerofly,
Yes, could be. I'm referring to an image similar to what one would get were they looking at the undeveloped film from a film camera. It's also called a negative image or reverse colour image.

Hi Caroline,
It's been a while. I hope you're doing well.
Yes, I figured out how to invert the screen image on the iPhone 5, but I was hoping of finding a way of saving them inverted, which it won't presently do. Oh well, inverting them on the computer is very easy, so I guess I'll have to go with that.
If you hear of a way of saving them in the inverted state, please let me know.
Take care,

I do not own an iPhone 16 myself, but the new Photo styles might have something along the lines you are looking for. Just a shot in the dark, however.

There may be a third party camera app with the feature you desire. Or maybe a Shortcut could be made to streamline the process on your iPhone.

Ah, I see this was posted in the iPhone 5 forums after I sent that message. Most likely disregard as you probably won't be able to download apps anymore, and I do not believe the 5 made it far enough to get Siri shortcuts.
