Great app
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for being a long time customer. BTW, we are coming up on our 12th birthday thanks to folks like you. The short answer is no you don't have to pay for existing functionality. When you purchased the app, the compare function was triggered by an icon the looked like a scale or balance. Now the compare function is accessed by a more legible icon. It is found at the bottom left of the gel view screen. The in app purchase is to view gels or photos through the camera much as you would look through a swatch from your gel book. Roughly 1/3 of our customers have added that functionality .
Almost Perfect
Also once you add a gel to a project, you should be able to click on those gels and see the waveform and transmission %. Not just attached notes.
Fix those two things and you’ve got a 5 star app!

Thanks, we appreciate your comments. You can cross compare any 2 gels in the library. Just select the first color and then tap the compare icon at the bottom left and that will allow you to find any other gel in the more than 1600 colors. We will take a look at your request for projects and see if it can be done soon. BTW, the twelfth birthday for our app is coming up and we would love to get another star for our rambunctious 12 year old.
Fantastic App
Essential Cinematography iPhone app
The ability to use my iPhones camera or a calibrated photo to preview thousands of gel colors plus compare gels side by side over the image?
This update is a game changer for my location scouts, tech meetings and those quick “What gel looks good here?” moments.
I can’t wait to use it out in the field and on-set. It’s top of the stack now in my iPhones Cinematography Apps folder.
One suggestion on improving the app.
If the apps photo preview feature gave us the ability to selectively erase or paint on an area of the color gel overlay (for still photos only, not the live camera) this would really help in coming up with complex color combos. The ability to show Production Designers, Set Painters and Props people where a gel color wash will play on a live set would be incredible for an iPhone app.
Tiffen used to have 2 iPhone apps that allowed masking to a certain degree with their camera filters overlaid on top of still photos. They sold it off I believe and it’s now called “DFT” aka Digital Film Tools in the iPhone App Store. It still functions the same and I use it all the time.
I don’t know how complex app coding is but just a thought on taking the app to the next level.
Have a great New Year!

We do include a free preview so you can check the accuracy. Thank you for the comment.
