What is a negative image?

A negative image is one where all colors are inverted - light becomes dark, and each color becomes its complementary opposite. It's the same effect as a film negative before development.

Can I convert a negative back to normal?

Yes! Simply apply the negative effect twice. Since it inverts colors, applying it to an already inverted image will restore the original colors.
