Bom, mas falta opções de salvamento

O app é muito bom, muitas opções de gel, a precisão das cores é ótima. No entanto, não existe a possibilidade de exportar/salvar as imagens. Sugestão: na pasta de projetos, permitir que salve as imagem com os filtros, além das anotações, assim como permitir salvar e exportar como IMG e PDF, junto ao código de cores das gelatinas

Great app

I’ve had this app for over a decade and it’s great. Solid.

Almost Perfect

Great app! I would love to be able to cross compare ANY 2 gels, not just what is comparable to the first selected gel.
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!

Fantastic App

Great tool if you take the time to set your screens brightness and color temperature this app renders color really well. Also has nice features to make your life easier.

Essential Cinematography iPhone app

Thank you for the latest Gel Swatch iPhone app update.

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!

No equal

Thanks for the upgrade. Glad to see you care the users. The new preview feature looks good, but I would like to know if it's accurate before I pay again for it.

Thanks for the update!

Well, that took 5 years but I'm very grateful for the additions and improvements. Thanks!

Great App!

I use this App for almost every one of my productions, it's a very useful and powerful tool to have in your kit.

Thanks for the update

Very useful!

Please update!

This is a great app! But it needs to be upgraded for iOS 10 and more!

Needs update

This app is a great tool for filmmakers but we need a 64 bit version for iPhone 7 and beyond... please make it happen!

Incredible

Despite the belated nature of the review (I've had the app for over three years now), this is one of the best app purchases I've ever made as a professional film lighting technician.

As both a means of making color suggestions to cinematographers, as well as finding alternatives to colors I've used in the past, it's invaluable. On top of that, I've used it countless times to identify an unmarked cut of gel pulled from the truck (as long as there's a catalog number on it somewhere, this app can pinpoint it).

Couldn't ask for more. Thanks so much, Wybron!

Cool, Thanks!

Nice App for lighting technicians and operators!!!

Mouais...

Finalement y'as pas mieux qu'un nuancier... cette appli n'apporte pas grand chose de plus, pas de mired,pas de bête convertisseur de température comme sur la bête page html de Lee filter...

Please turn off the automatic update!

Excellent tool, but 9 times out of 10 I will be using this as a very quick reference. Will often need a fairly rapid response. So when the "automatically downloading updates" screen comes up and it locks me out because I have bad data connection at a festival site 10 miles out if Athens, I forget that I am living in the future with astonishing technology at my fingertips and I start shouting at it. Please stop making me shout at my phone in public. Thanking you.

What Next?

Great app, but what's going to happen now that Wybron are closing down? Is it being sold on so someone else can keep it up to date?

Plutôt pas mal

Sur simple

Bugs

Super appli au départ sauf que depuis quelques temps elle bug malgré la dernière mise à jour... Vu le prix, c'est décevant. J'espère que le problème sera vite résolu car le principe est super, rapide et tellement pratique...

Super mais...

Depuis quelques temps . Les buggs se succèdent et l appli ne fonctionne plus jamais correctement . Dommage j aimais beaucoup et vu le prix , je suis plutot déçu au final , j espère que ça va se résoudre vite d autant que ce n est pas gratuit!!

Il ne faut pas parler trop vite

Cette application parait parfaite. MAIS ELLE BUG. Si vous enregistrez deux dossiers comportant une liste de gélatines, l'application quitte systématiquement dès que vous voulez ouvrir l'un de ces dossiers.

C'est détestable et ça rend l'appli inutilisable.
