Is there an easy way to make a part of a photo negative with computer? Is there a good image viewer that does that.(esp open-source)

I guess GIMP can do that.

See Invert:

The Invert command inverts all the pixel colors and brightness values in the current layer, as if the image were converted into a negative. Dark areas become bright and bright areas become dark. Hues are replaced by their complementary colors.

1> I think your question should be in photography site not here. @codescope, actually no; this would not fit at Photography. – Synetech – 2012-10-19T06:16:50.313

Also, it would be great – in the future – to expand your answers to more than just a link. Please give context where necessary and explain how the link answers the question. – slhck – 2012-10-19T06:32:28.560

1Also, GIMP is not an image-viewer. – Synetech – 2012-10-19T14:10:44.280

Windows’ own MSPaint can invert a photo via Image⇨Invert Colors or Ctrl+I.

It’s not OSS, but IrfanView is one of the best image-viewers available. It can invert colors via Image⇨Negative.
