The app reads the embedded colour settings and builds a full visual profile. No manual entry, no guesswork. See it before you shoot it Every recipe is displayed with the same visual language your camera uses: a Colour Creator wheel showing per-channel hue and saturation values, a tone curve plotting shadows, midtones and highlights, and a white balance bias grid. You'll know exactly what you're loading before it ever touches your camera. Your library, your way Store as many recipes as you like, entirely offline. No account needed, no subscription, no cloud. Your collection lives on your device and stays there. Upload in seconds Connect your OM-3 via USB-C and omachrome detects it automatically. Choose your Custom Mode and Colour Creator slot, tap Upload, and your recipe is on the camera. Done. Built for the OM-3 community omachrome speaks the same language as the OM-3. The colour wheel, tone values and white balance grid all match exactly what you see in-camera, with no translation layer between the recipe and your shooting.
