How do I reverse a black and white picture in publisher?

[jjenafer]

I have a black and white picture but I need to reverse the colors so that the
black area becomes white, and the white black. I am using Publisher. Thanks!

You would need to use an image editing program. Publisher doesn't have a
negative feature.

Brian,

Which software program does? I am working on a research program for school
and the pictures eventually get into publisher. I just took over the project
and am unsure of what application I need to reverse the color. Any
suggestions?

Photoshop can do negative. PhotoDraw (by Microsoft) has an awesome Negative
feature,

Paint Shop Pro will also do it.
As will Microsoft Paint.

Microsoft shows photodraw to be discontinued. Does this leave only photoshop?

Well, I assumed you might already have one. Ed says that MS paint has this.
That comes with windows. I think it's under Start > Programs > Accessories.

Thank you both. I will check at school to see if either are on the computer
there. I have paint on my personal, but not the others.

=================================
The freeware IrfanView can do what you ask.

Download IrfanView 3.97
http://www.tucows.com/preview/194967.html
(get the plug-ins too)

Open the B&W image in IrfanView and go to...
Image / Negative.

I'd be hard pressed to think of an image editor that can't!

Heck...sometimes I think NOTEPAD is better than Paint for photo editing

I'll have to make a "note" of that (snicker).
