What does inverting an image do?

Inverting replaces each color channel with its complement: new value = 255 - original value. White becomes black, red becomes cyan, blue becomes yellow, and so on. The alpha (transparency) channel is not affected.

Can I invert the image back to the original?

Yes. Inverting an already-inverted image produces the original. The operation is perfectly reversible — just run the tool again on the inverted output.

Is this the same as a photographic negative?

Yes. The invert operation produces the same result as a photographic negative — colors are complemented and the overall appearance is reversed.
