Button to invert image colors (lemmy.ml)

I would love to have a button on images in Jerboa that would completely invert the colors of an image. My retinas keep getting burned when I'm opening a post on my dark themed phone that is of a white image with text. It would be great to be able to view/read the image this way.

PS double tapping an image zooms it in waaaay too far. It should zoom to 100% size. My biggest pet peeve when trying to enlarge images.

My phone is dimmed to the maximum it can, so dimming more doesn't seem like a good option and might become too dim. Also the darker parts might become too dark to see.

Inverting will have weird effects on some images, sure, but that's why it should be a button used at my discretion.

i understand, my screen too is often dimmed to minimum brightness and that's also why i prefer eternity to jerboa, with which i can customize every element to a darker color

inverting colors turns black parts of the images into bright white, which is still painful for my eyes. i choose "compact" post layout to keep the images small

What I mean is to be able to invert the colors of an image when I open it full screen.

you can just add an accessibility shortcut for "color inversion" ☞

Really cool. My phone doesn't seem to have this, but something similar and a bit more cumbersome to use.

A button straight in the app, on or near the image, would still be better, because the built in feature I have inverts everything on the screen, making edges and all other dark elements white which defeats the purpose.

Edit:

I can't screenshot the result since it's smart enough to not invert what is screenshotted, but this is objectively worse when inverted

yes, indeed, you're right
