If at any point you’d like to undo these changes you can simply select the photo and repeat this step to invert the color again, which will switch them back to their original shades.

The same process for inverting vector objects is also used to invert raster photos. What may make Illustrator the best tool for color inversion is that it doesn’t just let you invert the colors of vector paths, but it also works on rasterized images too. Once completed, you can select each of your vector objects individually and check the color status to confirm that the colors have indeed been inverted.
