Color Negative
A simulation of developed color film before printing, with reversed tones and complementary colors under an orange base mask. Seeing an image this way recalls the film strips that photographers once printed from.

Spot it
- 01Orange-brown film base

Why it happens
Inverts each color channel so light becomes dark and each hue becomes its complement, then multiplies by an orange mask that mimics the film's built-in color correction.

Image edit prompt“Render this image as a scanned color film negative: invert all tones so skies are dark and shadows bright, turn every color into its complement, and tint the whole frame with the characteristic orange-brown film base. Add slight grain and soft vignette. Keep the original subject and composition recognizable.”
