Opening the image in Paint
If you're using Windows 10, you'll have two different Paint apps on your PC. One is called Paint and the other is called Paint 3D. Paint 3D does not have an Invert Colors option. The one you can use to invert colours is called Paint.
To open an image in Paint, you can do so from inside or outside the Paint application. If you are already in Paint, click on the File menu at the top-left corner, select Open, and then navigate to your image. Once you find it, select it and click Open.
If you are outside of Paint, you can right-click on the image file, select Open with, and then choose Paint. You can also open Paint by clicking the Desktop icon or locating it in the Start menu. Once Paint is open, click File and then Open. Find and select the image that you want to invert, and then click Open.
If you want to invert the colours of the entire image, click the Select menu. It's on the toolbar that runs along the top of the app in the "Image" panel. A list of selection options will expand. Click Select All on the menu.
If you'd prefer to select just one part of the image, choose Free-form selection instead, and then use the mouse to trace the desired area.
