Specific Please invert the colors of my image without reducing quality


Thanks a lot!
You're welcome @wildcompi

And @polarwoc Thanks for posting your next steps. I swear I tried to right click and save the image yesterday and was not successful. Yet it works today with a right click and with Save As the full PNG with transparency shows right up. Other than pilot error on my part not sure why that did not work yesterday for me. I even tried right clicking on the image and using copy image and then pasting into Photoshop and that worked great too. Placed the transparent image with a white background Layer underneath. I was on a walk early this morning with my adult son and he indicated that it should work just to right click on the image and save it. Checked the forum and you had already showed that it did work.

So I am scratching my head and laughing at myself for the extra levels of extraction I took yet still learned a couple things along the way. I knew there had to be an easier way and glad you pointed that path out. Got a good laugh out of it too this morning :)

I guess the parallel to this is, place me in a bunch of trees and I will chop them all down looking for the forest. :roflmao:

FWIW

I had tried the same thing in the browsers ; IE, Opera and Chrome. I dragged and dropped the unzipped SVG file into the browsers and could see ( via enlarging) that it was a high resolution image. Like almost everyone else I couldn’t save it in a form that was usable.

Although I was aware of it, I had no idea of what to do with the:
“data:image/png;base64, iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAB…..” It is well out of my wheelhouse and time and effort are scarce, even if curiosity is not. Fortunately John came to the rescue, Thank you.

And success FWIW:
Various browsers display “ View Source (Code)” a bit differently (we are not talking about “Inspect Element” which is not usable in this case.
… and I then Googled ‘change base64 to PNG’ and came up with an online converter
…which failed to work the first time. ‘Malformed Base64’ I guessed that ‘data:image/png;base64’ was some sort of header and deleting it worked like a charm.

OK...disregard what I said above.

I thought I was getting a different 'read' than John. When he said ASCII, I thought 'two digit Hex code' and I was too inflexible to read it as ANSI Text. ...which probably isn't correct on my part anyway. I haven't used a hex editor a handful of times in the last 30 years so I've forgotten most (read that all) of the jargon.

John even talked about clipping the paste-in... in the same site I posted.. <SIGH>

Hex code aside , my post was a waste of zeros and ones.
