Inverts all of the colors in a selection or cel.
The menu has a few important buttons at the bottom:
- The R, G, B, and A buttons control if a component should be inverted, e.g: the R button is checked, so the R (red) component can be inverted.
- The bottom button controls if the invert should apply to the active timeline selection (Selected) or all of the cels in the sprite (All). If a portion of a sprite is selected: in Selected mode the invert would only apply to the selected content of the selected timeline elements; in All mode the invert would apply to the selected content of all of the sprite's cels.
