If you have ever taken a photograph and find the composition is fine; however, the colours are nothing to write home about, you can quickly add drama by inverting its colours.  For example, I am happy with my Tynemouth photograph below; however, the colours are less than exciting.

Inverting the colours would produce the following dramatic result.

Tip
You can further edit the image’s colours, if you feel it needs it.

Note
Photographs will always react uniquely; therefore, some will benefit from a quick colour inversion, and some won’t.
