Will photographs look wrong?

Yes, inverted photographs look like negatives. This works best on text documents. For a mixed document, consider whether a greyscale conversion or simply lowering screen brightness serves better.

Almost certainly not — a black page uses an enormous amount of toner and dries slowly. This is for screen reading.

Can I invert only some pages?

Not in one pass. Split out the pages you want inverted, invert them, and merge back — which also lets you leave photographic pages untouched.

On a production

Reading a script or a schedule on a laptop in a blacked-out studio or a night exterior. A white page is a lighting problem — it spills, it wrecks your night vision, and on a monitor near camera it can end up in the shot.
