Dehancer Color Test is based on the color perception study by co-founders of Dehancer Pavel Kosenko, Nailya Safarova & Denis Svinarchuk, experts in Image Processing. This experimental tool helps you determine how many colours you perceive under different colour target display conditions. The test results include two values: 1. The number of colors you can perceive It is an index of color perception involving short-term memory. In simpler terms, it represents the ability of aesthetic perception under momentary examination. The result depends on the visual experience and your demand for colour nuance. You can take this test regularly to improve your perceptual vision. 2. The current effectiveness of your perception relative to your theoretical potential With some reservations, the potential represents the limit of your physiological ability, as measured at the level of the sensory visual system. Sensory vision is also trainable, but to a lesser extent. Perception depends on lighting conditions, physical and emotional state, and effort. Also, the results may vary over time and as your visual experience improves. The testing method is part of a live experiment, so we admit measurement inaccuracies. The statistics we collect do not contain personal data and are stored in anonymized form. This app is not intended for medical diagnosis. Any result is normal and reflects your personal demand for nuanced color perception. Dehancer’s mission is to preserve the aesthetic heritage by means of digital tools for color correction and lifelike emulation of analog processes and effects.

Archipic
Read full descriptionHide full description
Archipic is a private photo journal for architects and architecture students. Photograph a reference, answer two quick prompts, and it is filed in a structured archive you can still search years from now. Architecture turns up everywhere: a façade on a walk, a joint at an exhibition, a plan in a book, a model on someone's desk. In the camera roll those photos sink among everything else. Archipic gives each one a type, a few tags and a place, so it can be found again. CAPTURE IN SECONDS The camera is built for the street. One tap takes the photo and two more file it, quickly enough to do while walking. The viewfinder has a grid, a level, aspect-ratio guides, tap-to-focus and exposure, pinch zoom and film-inspired colour looks, and it records video as well as stills. Assign Capture to the Action Button, Siri or Shortcuts to reach the viewfinder without opening the app, optionally filing straight into a named project. STRUCTURED TAGS, NOT TYPING Every photo is filed with a small, fixed vocabulary of buttons instead of a keyboard: - Building: typology (residential, office, public, commercial, civic, hospitality, heritage, industrial, landscape) and room. - Element: structure, openings, envelope, finishes, details and more. - Graphic: artwork, book, drawing, plan, render, model, web and more. Materials, concepts, a rating, keywords, author and year, or a project can be added when needed, and any field you don't use can be switched off. If you can't remember where a tag lives, type its name and Archipic jumps to it. Photograph a book page or a wall label and the app reads it on the device, offering the title, author and year to confirm with one tap. GET REFERENCES IN Share an image from Photos, Files, Messages or a screenshot straight to Archipic. Pick Building, Element or Graphic and it is in the archive, ready to finish tagging later. FIND IT AGAIN Browse by Time, by Reference (what is in the photo), by Project, or by Place on a map. Search runs across every tag. Filter by type, project, favourites or minimum rating, and pinch the grid to change its size. BOARDS Turn any selection into a print-ready poster, laid out as a gallery wall, or into an A4 journal, with captions taken from the tags. Export it as a PDF, or as a square, portrait or story image for posting. WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS Exported photos carry their tags as standard metadata (keywords, caption, title and rating), so they open correctly in Lightroom, Bridge and InDesign. The capture date travels with them. A single setting keeps or strips the location when you share. ON IPHONE AND IPAD On iPad the four ways of browsing move into a sidebar and the grid fills the screen. The Board composer splits into two panes, with your photos on one side and a live preview of the poster on the other. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photos and tags are stored on your device and sync through your own iCloud. There is no account and no sign-in. There are no ads, no analytics and no developer server, so the developer cannot see your archive. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected". Designed by an architect.
