Two ways to invert

Hard flips every tone above the threshold in one abrupt step. It gives a graphic, poster-like picture, with a clean edge where the tones cross the line.

Smooth is the Sabattier effect: the inversion eases in, so the tones above the threshold reverse along a gentle curve. The result has the soft, eerie halo a real darkroom print gives when it is re-exposed mid-development.

Every option, from the app

Generated from the registry the app publishes, so this list is whatever the current build actually ships — not a copy of it.
