Many thanks for the review! Great that you're using it plein air! I haven't used it much outside but I'm glad its working for you.
Best color app out there
Response from developer
Many thanks Jay. So glad you like the app. And great that you use it as a learning tool. I'm a painter too and it has helped me enormously with my color and value perception. I wish I'd had it 10 years ago!
Knowing the anatomy of color
You may see one color and the app will let you know the color is a combination of colors…it’s richer knowledge of that color you’ll get…which in turn will make your painting better.
It’s my belief, that having the knowledge is key to then using that information any way you want to.
It’s a learning tool.
It also gives you the option to see just the values.
There’s a lot there I haven’t used yet…lots of exploring to do.
The cost is so minimal…there’s no reason not to have this learning tool in your arsenal.
Thank you, Michele! Great going!
Or should I say, Great giving!!

Many, many thanks Ginia. And it's so great that you're using as a learning tool. I've found that the more I use the app the less I need it and the better my color perception becomes when working from life. Happy painting!
So helpful!

It only loads/ keeps one image at a time. No library or storage
Update: developer says this will be added. But for now, a very pricey app when you can’t save images
Developer thank you and keep up w this great project

So sorry you miss this feature. As the input images aren't modified in any way this feature didn't make the cut in the first version. But the next version will definitely have a way to store and retrieve previous images. Hope you stay with the app in the meantime. Update: Version 2.0 (free update) now has a save option to save your modified images to your photo library. Many thanks for the feedback and I hope you enjoy the update.

A must have!

So glad you like it! As a painter myself I've learned so much using ChromaMagic almost to the point where I don't need it anymore. Saved me years of getting nowhere.
One app to rule them all

Thank you so much Colleen. I (obviously) think it's a great tool and it's helped me enormously. So glad you find it useful too (and many thanks for the review).
Like discovering an artist's secret!
For example, brown-coated dogs may look like a warm brown in a highlight but in the shadow, the brown is cooler, a purple brown. ChromaMagic gave me this insight - what a revelation! It took me just minutes to mix the colors based on the information from ChromaMagic. I've struggled with "seeing" the right color as I have learned to paint. With ChromaMagic I don't dread the color mixing step. It has taken that pain point out of my hobby.
ChromaMagic works across my Apple devices. Download (and pay) once, and it is available across all the devices.

Wonderful review Nan (is it Nan?). So glad its helping you see colors more clearly - exactly what I'd hoped for and exactly what I use it for too.
