How can I invert (make a negative image) a Tiff (or JPG) image within Indesign CS6?

This can be done in Photoshop, but I don't want to keep swapping applications or have to make and save a new (negative) image in Photoshop and then import into Indesign.

This was so easy in Quark years ago!

Thanks!

Set the fill color of the rectangle holding your image to Black, and the fill color of the image itself (select with the white arrow) to Paper.

This will only work on grayscale and black-and-white images; then again, those are the only logical candidates to make negative.

In case "it is not working": there is a difference between a full color image containing only gray pixels and a real grayscale image. The former cannot be changed in ID, the latter can.
