Reversing the colors on an image for printing

Post by jztemple2 »

I'm trying to print out an image from a game (Cartel Tycoon) but because it's white text and symbols on a black background. Is there some simple way to reverse the colors so it places nicer with my laser printer? Alternatively, is there a way to tell my printer (a Brother HL-5370DW) to do it?

Here's the image in case someone has some program that can do it easier than trying to describe the process to me :roll:

It's almost as if people are the problem.

Took me all of 30 seconds with IrfanView.

GIMP is another great free image editor. It can do almost anything Photoshop can do, just with not quite as slick an interface.
