I didn’t even know you could invert colors. I was on the phone with a client and when I disconnected the phone looked weird. On opening my photos, I realized that the whole phone had switched so everything was a negative image. To get it to look ALMOST normal I had to turn classic invert on. Turning smart invert on does nothing. Now I have a “regular” appearing screen, but the colors are a little off. Why would this happen and how do I get it back to normal?
