Flash turned photo colors backward! What can I do?

[AC Question]

Flash turned photo colors backward!

Somehow, the flash on my Galaxy S5 affected the photo in such a way that the color scheme flipped. Greens showed up red, yellows turned blue, yet all the less intens colors like ivory and brown and skin tone turned black and white. I can supply the side-by-side photos, with and without the flash.

Welcome to Android Central! Does the camera app have any kind of filters on, like Solarize or Invert?

If you need to fix just the one photo, open the Gallery, and then the affected photo, tap the screen so you can see and tap the 3 dot menu in the upper right corner, and select edit. Then you can apply a negative effect on your photo...like I picture here! Hopefully that will work for you and it's just a random glitch that you don't have to deal with anymore. Might help to reset camera settings to default if you're still having problems.

What if all of the photos are suddenly negative?

Welcome to Android Central! Are you also talking about an S5? Is it only the photos that are negative, or is it the whole screen?
