This is quite a nifty process. This article is a compliment post to the Irfan View article posted by me earlier, so read the Irfan View post first, so you understand how irfan view rules the image viewer scene.
I love the way iView has grown from the dust, and has reached the top of charts in the Image Viewer section.
Many might have seen pictures of celebrities hidden behind a "mask" which is nothing but negative of the image. "Negative Filters" have been available in rich image editors for quite sometime. Adobe Photoshop has filters that can make "Negatives" of pictures that you take from a Phone Cam or a Digital Photograph.
So how do you undo or remove the negative mask on a picture like this:

Lets believe this face is hidden (lol, I know you know who this is!!) and now you want to remove that mask to see whose behind the mask. All you have to do is open this picture in iView, and mark the "masked" area, and pull the menu "Image > Negative". Once you do that, surprise!! the masked image comes to light. This is a built-in feature of Irfan View and so you need not download any filters or pulg-ins.
