What's New in Light Scope

2.0

May 13, 2025

LightScope is a comprehensive solution providing professional light measurement and analysis using your iOS device's camera sensor. 【Key Measurement Features】 • Illuminance (lux) Measurement: Calculates accurate illuminance by analyzing EXIF data from the camera sensor. Illuminance is derived using the formula: (F-number² / (Exposure Time × ISO)) × Calibration Factor. • Luminous Intensity (candela) Calculation: Automatically calculates the luminous intensity of a light source based on the set distance. Uses the formula: Illuminance (lux) × Distance². • Color Temperature (K) Analysis: Precisely measures color temperature in the range of 1500K~15000K by converting RGB values to XYZ color space using McCamy's formula. • Real-time Histogram: Visualizes the balance of shadows, midtones, and highlights through 16-level brightness distribution analysis. • Contrast Ratio Measurement: Evaluates the ratio between the brightest and darkest parts of a scene according to WCAG accessibility standards. • Noise Measurement (SNR): Calculates the signal-to-noise ratio in dB to evaluate image quality in the shooting environment. 【Advanced Features】 • Image Capture and Storage: Captures camera images at the time of measurement and stores them with measurement data. • Full-screen Image View: Zoom, pan, and rotate captured images for detailed inspection. • Gallery Saving: Save captured images to your device's photo library. • Measurement History and Trends: Save all measurements chronologically and visualize trends with graphs. • Camera Full-screen Mode: Hide panels to focus on the camera view while checking key measurements via a mini info panel. • Perfect Dark/Light Mode Support: All UI elements automatically adapt to the system theme. 【User Settings】 • Illuminance Calibration: Adjust the calibration factor for more accurate measurements based on your environment. • Distance Setting: Set the distance to the light source for precise luminous intensity (cd) calculations. • Front/Rear Camera Selection: Choose the appropriate camera for your measurement situation. 【Technical Features】 • Support for measuring various light source types: natural light, LED, fluorescent, incandescent, etc. • Algorithm optimization for stable color temperature calculation even in low-light environments • 10-frame moving average filter for measurement stabilization • Center-weighted image analysis for accurate evaluation of main subject quality • Automatic exposure quality assessment based on histogram analysis Perfect tool for photographers, videographers, lighting designers, UI/UX developers, and anyone who needs accurate light measurements.

영상 촬영에 좋은 앱

정확한 색온도를 알아야 할 때 좋은 앱입니다.
우리나라 분이 개발하신 것 같아 구입했습니다.

2.0 좋아졌군요.

이전 버전보다 기능도 많아지고, 디자인도 많이 좋아졌군요.
잘쓸게요

测量不准

测试了十几款亮度测试软件;这个是收费且最不准确的,同一个光源,安卓和苹果的不同软件,其他测量都是300到600lux,这个测试只有50到60lux,建议避坑。

Medición incorrecta.

Con ninguna de las dos cámaras hace una medición correcta de la luminosidad en un iPhone 12. Con el ajuste máximo de calibración (50) los valores son la mitad de lo que miden otras apps. En un entorno donde hay unos 250 luxes marca unos 130. No me sirve para nada.
