Working with a raw capture of a negative (from a film scan or digitised negative) invert all the colours in develop module so all the sliders still work in the correct direction

I’m trying, I work in ACR in stead of LR. I can’t find where do you mean with “develop module”, in what specific section? thanks Steviem101.

ACR is what is called the Develop module in Lightroom Classic. This is a feature request however, not something that already exist.

In Adobe Camera Raw it would be a supernice feature, that is needed.
I am referring to editing digitized negatives: a simple button (for example, where the "auto," "B&W," and "HDR" buttons are currently located) that, when activated, inverts the image so we can work with the sliders and other options normally—viewing the image as a positive rather than a negative.
