CineTemp vs LightTemp

KEY FEATURES: • Approximate color temperature readings through your iPhone camera • Approximate ND calculation through your iPhone camera • Real-time values using wide, telephoto, and front-facing lenses • Luminance histogram • Location-aware shot library with custom notes and metadata • Scene comparison tools to assist with color consistency Perfect for: • Location scouting • Pre-production planning • On-set color adjustments • White balance optimization • Multi-camera coordination Created by filmmakers for filmmakers, CineTemp is designed to simplify your workflow and support your creative vision. While it’s not total replacement for dedicated hardware, CineTemp offers an intuitive way to make informed color decisions. The app seamlessly integrates with most iPhone cameras, and the customizable interface keeps essential tools at your fingertips. Save and organize your readings with automatic time, date, and location tagging to streamline your pre-production process. Join the creators using CineTemp to elevate their craft.

LightTemp turns your smartphone into a professional on-set tool: measure light, understand it, and keep it consistent across the whole shoot – no expensive hardware required. Built by a filmmaker, for filmmakers. ◆ REAL-TIME KELVIN & TINT Point your camera at a light source and instantly read color temperature (Kelvin) and green-magenta tint. Tap the image to measure that exact spot (double-tap = center). Perfect for scouting and quick lighting checks. ◆ CAMERA WB RECOMMENDATION LightTemp tells you exactly what to dial into your camera – the measured value IS your white balance. ◆ LIGHTING RATIO (LIGHTING DESIGN) Measure Key, Fill, Back and Background one by one – the app computes the contrast ratios in stops (e.g. 4:1). Turn "reading a number" into "designing your lighting". ◆ GEL CALCULATOR Pick source + target white point – the app calculates the right CTO/CTB gel using real mired math, including combining large corrections. ◆ SHOOT SETUP & SHOT MATCH (CONTINUITY) Set your cine camera once (model, EI, fps, shutter angle). Save each scene as a full snapshot – Kelvin, tint, lighting ratio, flicker note and your camera values – and reproduce the lighting exactly on the next shooting day. Export as PDF. ◆ CONTINUITY RADAR Anchor the current light and the app warns you – with a banner and haptic – the moment color temperature or tint drifts, with a correction tip to get back. Keeps your look consistent across takes. ◆ MULTI-POINT DEVICE CALIBRATION Calibrate LightTemp with several reference points into a precise correction curve – maximum accuracy on your exact device. ◆ AUTOMATIC LIGHT SOURCE DETECTION Recognizes Tungsten, LED, HMI, daylight, candlelight or fluorescent – including a flicker warning (banding risk). ◆ PRO SCOPES • Histogram – brightness distribution • Waveform – luminance across the image width • RGB Parade – red/green/blue separately for a quick white-balance check ◆ FALSE COLOR & ZEBRA Exposure overlays like on professional monitors – correct skin tones, clipping and overexposed areas at a glance. Plus a live exposure assistant. ◆ GOLDEN & BLUE HOUR Calculates the sun's position from your location with a countdown to the next phase – for scouting. ◆ MORE TOOLS • Live camera data: ISO, shutter, aperture, FPS • Pinch-to-zoom • Freeze to lock the value • Customizable tool bar • Kelvin alarm (vibrates at target value) • Four languages: English, German, French, Spanish PRIVACY All data stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Note: Accuracy depends on your device's camera; use the calibration for best results. LightTemp is an assistive tool and does not replace a calibrated hardware light meter for the most demanding use.
