About this effect

Unlike a full image invert that flips all colors at once, Channel Invert lets you flip individual red, green, or blue channels independently. This creates partial negatives — inverting only the red channel turns skies teal and skin blue; inverting green creates otherworldly purple shifts. Toggle channels on and off to find unexpected color combinations. Works great as a base layer before applying other glitch effects for truly alien visuals.
