Why no normal (un-inverted) image?

Hello Maurits,
Yes, it would be nice to have a "normal" image. Just black and white. Not inverted.

Yes, Maurits, normal image. Ant it is so good that NO NECESSITY to "improve" it doing inversion.

Normal images are more demanding and more difficult to make them look good.

Excellent "normal" image Maurits ;-)

I share the point of view of Valery and Mark. But it is true that each of us has its own preference from the aesthetic point of view.
