Creating Optical Colour Illusions

Step 1 - Find Image & Add Black Dot On New Layer


Step 2 - Add Desaturation Layer


Step 3 - Add Inverted Colours Layer


Stare at the black dot on the 'inverted colour' image for 15 to 20 seconds then, without shifting your focus, switch to the 'desaturated image'. You will see the original colours within the image. As soon as you shift your focus you will loose the colours! To a lesser extent staring at the 'original image' then switching to the 'desaturated image' will cause you to see the inverted colours.
