Pro Tips for Inverting Colours in Canva

1. Upload or select your image or element
   Open your Canva design and choose the image, element, or background where you want to invert colours.

2. Use the Edit Photo option
   Click on the image, then select Edit photo from the toolbar to access adjustment settings.

3. Adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation manually
   To mimic a color inversion, lower brightness, increase contrast, and play with saturation. This can create a reversed-color appearance.

4. Apply a duotone effect
   Select Effects, scroll to Duotone, and apply one of the presets. Click on the applied effect to customize highlight and shadow colors for an inverted-style look.

5. Use filter hacks for solid backgrounds or shapes
   If you're working with simple shapes or backgrounds, apply a filter like “Solar” or adjust tints to create the opposite color scheme.

6. Use Canva’s Background Remover with inverted background
   For more control, remove the background from the image and place it over a background with contrasting or inverted colors.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Looking for a direct invert button
   Canva does not have a one-click invert color feature. You’ll need to manually simulate the effect using filters or adjustments.

2. Inverting text instead of background
   Make sure you’re selecting the correct layer. Lock other layers if needed to avoid unintentional changes.

3. Duotone not applying properly
   Ensure your image is selected and the duotone effect is clicked once to apply, then click again to open editing controls.

4. Color inversion not looking accurate
   Manual adjustments may not fully match a traditional invert. Use high contrast colors to improve visual effect.

5. Inverted image looks dull after adjustments
   Tweak brightness and contrast gradually, and consider layering elements or backgrounds to improve the overall result.
