How to draw an image in negative form

[Peter Chase]

Hi,

I have a BufferedImage that I want to paint onto another image, but with the colours inverted (e.g. red=255 -> red=0). Can I set some magic property of the Graphics or Image, so the the painting is done inverted? Or do I have to do inversion as a separate operation?

It has to be a seperate operation. Have a look at Programmer's Guide to the JavaTM 2D API: 5.8 Image Processing and Enhancement
