    Not so, or at least not any more. Individual layers can be inverted as well.

    Re: inverting neg scan

    Marko, I am using a mac with OSX10.3.9 and the scanner is a Canon 9950f, the PS version is CS.
    I open the file and try to invert, which of course it will not. Thats it, just open and try to invert.
    As said, the invert option is opaque in the drop down menu so cannot be selected. I have tried the command keys with no luck also.

    I have been trying to do this for a few days now so PS has been on and off several times.

    Thanks again

    Gari

    Gari, I'm on the same OS and version of PS and the Invert command is present. You may have to uninstall and re-install PS as a worse case scenario. Have you tried calling Adobe Tech Support?

    Gari,

    From your response, I understand that you are scanning using the stand-alone scanning app which saves a file on a disk. You are then opening this file in Photoshop. Is this correct?

    If so, what is the resulting file format?

    Also, you can try a simple experiment:

    1. Open the file as it is
    2. Make sure it is in RGB mode (Image-Mode-RGB), either 8-bit or 16-bit
    3. Make sure that is is flattened (only one layer as a background)
    4. Save the image as Photoshop file (.psd)
    5. Load the new image and see if your Invert command is available.

    This should provide at least some indication of the source of the problem.

    When I work in 16-bit mode the invert option is grayed out, maybe that is just because I'm using PS7?

    Could very well be, that's three versions behind the current version. It's been a long time since I used either, but I believe the 16-bit mode support was very limited until the CS.
