Hi Ian, I've done quite a bit of mass conversion work on images.
I think Imagemagick, as opposed to GIMP, might help you out a lot. I asked my good mate Gareth Google, and he gave me this page :- http://polishlinux.org/apps/graphics/enchanting-pictures-with-imagemagick/ Take a look for the -negate option. In the example, I believe the guy is creating a negative from a positive, but I've a feeling the reverse will work :) Depending on your level of programming experience, you'll be able to build a script to convert the lot in one swift stroke.
