C# Project
In this project we are learning to convert a color image into negative image.
For this project we will need Microsoft Visual Studio
Converting a color image into negative is very simple. All we have to do is repeat 3 simple steps for each pixels of the image.
Example:
Consider a color pixel with the following values
A = 255
R = 100
G = 150
B = 200
Where A, R, G and B represents the Alpha, Red, Green and Blue value of the pixel.
Remember! ARGB will have an integer value in the range 0 to 255.
So, to convert the color pixel into negative we will subtract the value of R, G and B from 255.
R = 255 - 100 = 155
G = 255 - 150 = 105
B = 255 - 200 = 55
So, the new ARGB value will be:
A = 255
R = 155
G = 105
B = 55
Note! We don't have to change the alpha value because it only controls the transparency of the pixel.

Color p = bmp.GetPixel(x, y);
//extract ARGB value from p
int a = p.A;
int r = p.R;
int g = p.G;
int b = p.B;
//find negative value
r = 255 - r;
g = 255 - g;
b = 255 - b;
//set new ARGB value in pixel
bmp.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(a, r, g, b));
}
