What's New in Agitate
1.2
September 2, 2026
Fahrenheit, and a warmer darkroom. Both of these came from a reader who develops at 78 °F in summer and did not want to ice his chemistry down. • Temperatures read in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The app follows the region your iPhone is set to, so a phone set to the United States now opens in Fahrenheit. There is a switch under More if you want the other one. • Time and temperature conversion now runs to 27 °C (80 °F) rather than stopping at 24 °C. That is where ILFORD's own published compensation chart ends, so the app now covers the whole of it. • The conversion curve is refitted to that chart. The old constant factor ran up to eight percent short at the warm end, and a development time that is too short is a negative that is too thin.
