How do I get the "negative photograph" look off my computer?  email this discussion to a friend?

My kid did something right in front of me yesterday, while using my computer, but I cannot figure out what she did and now all the pictures and background look like x-ray pictures! I went to preferences, displays, and anything else that might be able to change it back, even restarting the computer, but nothing changed it back to the way it was! It is a mac mini. While I find it interesting to look at my face as if it was an x-ray, and other pictures too, it is annoying that I do not know how to change it back! I know she did not go into system preferences to do it, all I saw was that maybe she right-clicked the mouse or something like that. It happened so quickly and I could not believe that she could do that while I was sitting there next to her! She is too young to understand what happened, or to tell me which button she pushed right before it happened. What can I do?

Hello Olivemai, I have never used a mac so your best move is as good as mine. I was just curious about the x-ray effect, does it appear like a negative film wherein the black appears white and vise versa or its just in black and white image. If its the later then maybe check your video color management settings or something.

If you fix this, can you please post what happened and how you were able to remedy it.

It is the entire page, with white letters and black background, which is not too bad! The pictures all look like negatives or x-ray pictures! My hair looks white like a senior citizen and my skin looks bluish-black! My eyes are almost hollow!

Me again. I tried to duplicate your problem in my PC but failed. I am really intrigue by your problem, Ah kids, they are techguys worst nightmare:) Try checking your cable or plug or reinstall your video driver.

It does look somewhat like your photo on the left there! I am using a different user for now.

So that's why I cant see youhappy.

No luck yet? There are cases when the pins of the connectors are crocked due to miss align plugging, try to straighten it out and re insert but then again this on a PC not mac. I'm really baffled.

Thanks Olivemai for the update.

Just go into your Photo program, where you enlarge,crop, colour inhance, red eye fix up.
In there you will be able to reverse the photo to what you want.

I am not sure what you mean! It is more than just the pictures that have changed! It is the background color and words too! So I see your picture as having greyish face and white skin above your eyes, but cannot view your eyes very well at all! I do not know about a photo program, I did go into system preferences and all that, but no luck yet!


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  4 years ago

A program like picas 2 should be able to fix your photo's.

I'm sure it's on free down load.
That's the best I can do for you.
