Like the old film were the whites got too hot so they were inverted.. I know curves does this but I can't get the effect I really want which is like this.

if you have newblueFX essentials, it can be done. If not try the levels FX as it has levels and gamma-or MB looks for Vegas or try the Glow FX and adjust to taste.

I'm not sure which of these works best and you might need a combination of them but I'm thinkin' it shouldn't be that hard to do, which of course means it'll take hours of work and a bottle of Jack ;-)

Maybe look at these other ways to do it-try 'em and see what happens.

And surely the bottle of JD makes it all worthwhile, whatever the outcome (so speaks someone who just travelled that road . . .)
