Neither Spectacle nor Dolphin are KDE PIM apps. You'd better use the general 
[email protected] mailing list or the forum.

Anyway, you'll have to add a desktop file for a suitable bash-script to 
~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/

Something like this:
```
[Desktop Entry]
Actions=invertcolors
Type=Service
MimeType=application/png;

[Desktop Action invertcolors]
Name=Invert colors
Icon=image-png
Exec=convert %f -channel RGB -negate %f.inverted.png
```

If you do it right then you'll get a context menu entry "Invert colors" in 
Dolphin in the Actions submenu.
