### 5/5 — Color generator

*2024-07-20, version 4.5*

This app provides an easy access to pre generated color screens, for whatever you want to use it for. I use it for 35mm positive prints/DIAs, Negatives. What males this app better than others? You can use it actually without paying for it, and you can generate endless other colors. Thats pretty awesome if you need a specific light condition. I will see how it helps with faded prints for live view without tingling around with cameras settings.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-11-11, version 4.3*

Exactly what I’ve been looking for! It’s like a light box on my phone 🙌🏼

### 5/5 — Superb update ...

*2020-09-03, version 3.0*

Exactly what it needed ... Thanks !!

### 5/5 — Save to Favorites

*2020-06-17*

Great new feature, simple to use and access.
I really enjoy the apps simplicity, form and function.

### 5/5 — Great Little App

*2020-03-31, version 1.8*

Great in its simplicity and useful. Any chance you could add the ability to produce various coloured gradients that could be modified infinitely in direction, style (radial, linear,etc) using fingers to move and rotate. Thx

### 3/5 — It’s ok.

*2018-06-03*

Built nice. Does what it says it’s gonna do. But the issue is it really needs a way to turn off the touch features of the iPad while being used as a light box for tracing. This might be an iOS limitation, I don’t know. Also at one point an ad popped up causing even more issue because I was in the middle of tracing a line. Just need to break out my real light box.

### 5/5 — Perfekt für Dias und Negativstreifen

*2018-03-25, version 1.2*

Betrachte damit Dias und Negative. Einfach perfekt!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2018-03-21*

I use the app in low lighting photography. It works great on small projects with a black background. I just love all the soft colors this app has to offer. I hope you have just as much fun as I have with this app!! 😊

### 5/5 — 👍

*2018-03-08, version 1.2*

Great little free app. Was searching to see if there was an app to let you use your iPad as a light table and most that came up were paid apps and had terrible review even. Came across this app and it's perfect. It does one thing and does it great so I'm happy lol.
