What Does Reversing a Black and White Image Mean?

Reversing a black and white image means inverting its colors. Black pixels become white, white pixels become black, and gray tones are converted to their opposite brightness values — for example, RGB(50,50,50) becomes RGB(205,205,205).

Reversing colors does not mean flipping or mirroring the image. The composition stays exactly the same; only the brightness of every pixel is swapped.

Reverse vs Invert a Black and White Image

People search for both "reverse black and white image" and "invert black and white image", but they are the same operation. Image editing software almost always labels it "Invert Colors" (in Photoshop: Image → Adjustments → Invert). Whichever term you use, this tool does exactly that: every pixel is replaced with its opposite value.
