Pix8 vs Zone Meter

Improve your artistic learning curve using Pix8. Pix8 allows users to get a close-up​ view of the individual pixels of a subject. Surprise yourself with the knowledge of what colors are what in the complex world of imagery, what looks white may only be gray compared to a similar looking white in the same image! Pix8 will enable you to enlarge the pixel size, and additionally, lower the number of colors in your image, thus making it easier to paint, or draw. As a bonus, Pix8 allows you to save your pixelated images for use in other apps.

Zone Meter is a professional light meter for photographers who shoot manual - on film, with legacy lenses, or in the studio. Point your iPhone at a scene and Zone Meter instantly reads the light from the camera sensor, calculating exposure values in real time. Scroll the drum wheels to set your aperture, shutter speed, or ISO, and Zone Meter works out the third value for you.
