I want to invert an Image object. Currently my code looks like this:
private Image Invert(Image img)
{
var bmpPicture = new Bitmap(img.Width, img.Height);
var iaPicture = new ImageAttributes();
var cmPicture = new ColorMatrix { Matrix00 = -1, Matrix11 = -1, Matrix22 = -1 };
iaPicture.SetColorMatrix(cmPicture);
var gfxPicture = Graphics.FromImage(img);
var rctPicture = new Rectangle(0, 0, img.Width, img.Height);
gfxPicture.DrawImage(img, rctPicture, 0, 0, img.Width, img.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, iaPicture);
return bmpPicture;
}
However, when I run this, and show it in a PictureBox
, the result is a black image. I'm running this in Visual Studio 2012 under Windows 8 Release preview. If there is a better way to do this, please let me know. Thanks.
