Is It Possible to Reverse Colors in a JPG Image?

[DianeF]

I have some jpg images that I want to cut as stencils in my Silhouette design program. But the colors are reversed so that the Silhouette program cuts the wrong part of the jpeg, i.e., it cuts out the black part rather than the white part that I want to cut out. I'm wondering is there is any way to reverse the colors in the image. Doing so would allow me to cut this correctly.

 

I have both Photo and Designer.I tried doing a recolor adjustment but that didn't work. I tried rasterizing the layer to see if I could convert the image to curves but that didn't work either.

 

Are there any other options, or is this just the nature of jpgs?

 

Thanks for the help.

In Photo, Layer > invert

 

 

If you do a levels adjustment, you can clean it up a bit.
