Inverting colors with Photoshop

Using Photoshop Professional 11 on a Windows 7 platform, I'm having some challenges inverting colors in an image. I am a novice with Photoshop. When I open the original image and select Image>Adjustments>Invert, the result is nowhere close to a true inversion. Some guidance would be appreciated.

use Ctrl+I to invert entire layer.

You can change colors with

Image > Adjustments > Color Balance / Hue-Saturation / Levels / Curves

Thank you for your comments. Ctrl + I produces a result identical to the second image in my original post. Regarding your second comment, I'm unclear how to implement it. Image>Adjustments>Color Balance opens a dialog window which does not have Hue-Saturation or other options.

OK, I must have misunderstood the meaning of inversion. I wanted to replace the colors in the image with their counterparts. White would become teal green, and teal green would become white.
