ZoomText Smart Invert Extension

The Smart Invert add-on for Chrome enhances the experience of ZoomText and Fusion software users. It is specifically designed for those with low vision who use screen brightness and color inversion for better visibility. However, such inversions can make photos look like negatives, reducing their appeal and making them harder to view.

With the Smart Invert feature enabled, ZoomText and Fusion's Color Enhancement effects—Invert Brightness and Invert Colors—are smartly managed to maintain the natural colors of photos. This integration ensures photos retain their original appearance, despite the inversion effects.

For Chrome users to benefit from this feature, two steps are necessary: first, install and enable the Smart Invert add-on; second, use ZoomText or Fusion while browsing. The add-on is inactive without these software solutions running.

Luke Mounce (ID: 000000c01ad38a47) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/01/2022 Enabling this extension will mean that pictures do not have their colour/brightness inverted when you do so for the rest of your screen. It also means that, when you DON'T want your colour/brightness inverted on your screen, pictures WILL have their colour/brightness inverted. ZoomText and I have differing opinions on what constitutes "smart".
