Colour Inversion - Framed

By
Published:

Description

The Polar Inversion effect is much maligned in the circles of Paint.NET users - probably because it is seen as a kind of 'Newbie' effect; a quick way to make a nice pattern out of just about anything.

Personally I think the Polar Inversion effect can produce some excellent result when used in the right context and manner. I have used it before in pieces such as Maelstrom and, more recently, Ready to Pounce.

Here, I was messing about with a square canvas, divided into four colours (CMYK) - I did Polar Inversion on the whole piece initially, then again on each section individually. The result, IMHO, is quite a pleasing abstract in itself, and not the kind of normal result you would get from a basic Polar Inversion.

Anyway, the resulting ';pattern' wasn't really worth posting as was, so I thought I'd frame it and set it in a background.

Just some fun; enjoy.

A 100% Paint.NET creation.
