I think that is an interesting alternate type of photography. I usually think of it as double-take photography as people see it once and then go...wait a second!
Here's mine from Sunday.
So many more editing steps can be taken from where I am here. It really opens a new door.
Thanks for bringing it up,
Lee

I think negative photography can be almost surreal, and exciting.
Here is one of my attempts:
This was desaturated before being negatived!! |

Just go to photoshop Image>Adjust>invert or if your camera has it just automaticly chose that option! |

Very cools posts here. I love playing with the "negative" effect in editing - I just tend to really like the results a lot of the time - but it looks like you all have some other tricks up your collective sleeves! Please share your processes. Thanks!!

| My process was at the moment just took the picture of a landscape when the sun was setting. I putted my camera in negative art and just took the picture! :) |

These were taken awhile back with my old Mavica, which has an in-camera option to invert. The one of my cat is still one of my favorites...

Kylie, I first did the regulars of any of my workflows...Levels, contrast...the whole bit. When I do negatives, my personal tendency is to do it in black and white because it gives it an eerie (almost infrared) yet believable look. Sometimes the color schemes in many negtive shots are so misconstrued that it is hard to take seriously. In this particular shot, the background was all black. Using the levels tool, i made it completely black. Then, i inverted it (Ctr+I) to get a white background and a negative color image of my flower.
Ensuite, I made a Hue/Saturation layer and changed the mode to color and left it alone. Then, I made a second Hue/Saturation layer and I desarturated. I subsequently went back to the color layer and played with the hue and saturation bars until i found the correct range of tones that I was looking for to make the shot work. Since doing this, it had also opened me to use many textures and filters that potentially work with the duotonic image. If you have any more questions or comments feel free to let me know! :)
Hope that helps...

The process was very simple, I desaturated from full colour until just the flower was pink, this was my submission to Botany. I then just selected invert in Imageforge and that's about it! |

Similar, but different to negatives, Sabbatier processing is akin to solarisation. There are details in the comments on my image on how to achieve this effect in photoshop and the like.
If you like negative art, or these sorts of effects, you'll probably like the surrealist photography by Man Ray. Worth a look.

This is kind of along Gordon's line of post...it's a chromasolarize effect from the Flaming Pear website. It looks to me like an inversion of sorts, and I thought I'd share it. :o)

Also in a related vein, I frequently used highly distorted Curves (really a bunch of various inversions) to create interesting color effects, as in these I prepared for the Abstract challenge:
Original:  Processed: 
Original:  Processed: 
These are some old entries which used Curves to create the current colors from something else:

Thanks for the revelatory thread! Tried it on a couple of mine and I think it adds a bit of zip to already contrasty images.
