It's late at night, you're in bed reviewing your Apple Notes from the day on your iPad. All of your handwritten notes are pleasant to read in dark mode. But your eyes are irreparably damaged by the blinding brightness of your document scans.
Apple Engineers could rescue you from this ocular hell.
This proposal makes document scans comfortable to read in the dark by adding the following:
invert
increased contrast
possibly even increased sharpness
All of these changes will be non-destructive, which means they will not change the original image.
These improvements would nicely coincide with making our notes more standardized across all platforms.
A little hack I used to achieve this is keeping everything on light mode and using the "invert" option. Look how nice it looks.
On the left is the current design, on the right is this new design including my proposal for inverting the Scanned Documents.
The first image is for iOS, the second for macOS.
To "prototype" how this would look and feel, I turned on light mode and inverted my screen. It looks delightful, doesn't it? (I blurred my notes, I don't wan't y'all finding out what design stuff I'm cooking up)
And here's what the inverted document scans look like on iPhone.
