Thank you for the latest Gel Swatch iPhone app update The ability to use my iPhones camera or a calibrated photo to preview thousands of gel colors plus compare gels side by side over the image This update is a game changer for my location scouts tech meetings and those quick What gel looks good here moments I can t wait to use it out in the field and on set It s top of the stack now in my iPhones Cinematography Apps folder One suggestion on improving the app If the apps photo preview feature gave us the ability to selectively erase or paint on an area of the color gel overlay for still photos only not the live camera this would really help in coming up with complex color combos The ability to show Production Designers Set Painters and Props people where a gel color wash will play on a live set would be incredible for an iPhone app Tiffen used to have 2 iPhone apps that allowed masking to a certain degree with their camera filters overlaid on top of still photos They sold it off I believe and it s now called DFT aka Digital Film Tools in the iPhone App Store It still functions the same and I use it all the time I don t know how complex app coding is but just a thought on taking the app to the next level Have a great New Year Kurt Kurt Rauf Director Cinematographer                     Essential Cinematography iPhone app Vegasdp

Well that took 5 years but I m very grateful for the additions and improvements Thanks                     Thanks for the update Grady S.

I use this App for almost every one of my productions it s a very useful and powerful tool to have in your kit                     Great App Coeorsed

Despite the belated nature of the review I ve had the app for over three years now this is one of the best app purchases I ve ever made as a professional film lighting technician As both a means of making color suggestions to cinematographers as well as finding alternatives to colors I ve used in the past it s invaluable On top of that I ve used it countless times to identify an unmarked cut of gel pulled from the truck as long as there s a catalog number on it somewhere this app can pinpoint it Couldn t ask for more Thanks so much Wybron                     Incredible mellors

but too bad they don t have Rosco swatches in classic gel book order rather than numerical order Would be great to scroll through chromatically             Very useful smismist

I had an interesting idea posed to me while showing off this app With oldschool gel swatches you can easily see what your set looks like with that color on it by just looking through the gel under the stage light What I d like to see is a way to add a filter to the camera screen so you can see how the color looks on the set I know the transmission won t be perfect but it d at least give the designer an idea of what to expect                     Idea for a later update Designer Lady

Hey ToasterDog yes you know who this is I find this handy in many ways but yes for theater one should always refer to a swatch book However when you do jobs like I do it can be a really useful tool It s fast it s accurate but not to tungsten quality and you don t need to run to the bus hotel to get a swatch book With hundreds of gels out there and limited time this app can be a lifesaver If you have 3 weeks to sit in a theater carry swatch books                 I like it Luminary 07

As a lighting professional I am thrilled for this and the CXI application truly a great utility to have in the field and on the go Looking forward to more utilities such as this for the industry                     EXCELLENT nvanhouten

I bought this app because my girlfriend had gotten it herself several months prior When she got it an i believe when i first got it it had the ability to compare any 2 gels but since then in one of the updates Wybron killed this functionality now you can only compare what they deem similar or complementary Frequently I need to see how 2 gels will react when mixed together or more often i don t always have a gel that is similar as they define it so i need to compare a gel i do have with the target gel to see just how far i am I am quite disappointed that this functionality was removed What the app does still do it does well but i can t in good conscience recommend this to LD friends of mine as strongly as i once could I don t see the benefit of removing functionality to replace it with a button that for me is essentially just an ad for another app i don t need or want         Ok but used to be better lordquibble

This thing is amazing no more shuffling around for a swatchbook in my bag And now that it has apollo it s perfect                     Love the App eboxhead

I did not buy this app for a long time It was intermission for a tech and I was out of R98 and needed the Gam or Lee equivalent I bought the app I have mixed feelings It is very useful I found myself using it during tech often It s not just a gel book as others have claimed It not only shows you similar gels but it shows the compliment and you can compare the wavelenghts of the gel and compliment The color wavelength data is a must Rosco doesn t include it in color on their swatches I also like the cmy percentages anyone dealing in color mixing or the EOS will love this feature The problems I had with eairler versions are fixed or will be fixed in v1 4 Gels are easy to find and I find myself exploring new colors across manfacturers It is now worth ten dollars                     Its not just a gel book tm204

A wonderfully handy little ap I use it almost every time I get a new designer in my space The color matching isn t always as close as I would like but it certainly gets the job done I do really miss Apollo I would love love love to be able to compare Apollo colors and find matches Otherwise I wonderful ap                 Gets the Job Done GoodEnoughForME

The only thing i would like to see added is an option to save a gel as a favorite and store it within the app so you can easily dial up your favorite colors Other than that possibly more colors added down the line nice job nocely done                 nice App for Lighting jingles8302

Love this app The color rendition is off because of the light source but it is off for everything so I can sitll get a good idea of what I will see Also please add Appollo to the list Very useful                 Gel Swatch app macphersongreg

This totally saved my life today I downloaded it in a minute and was able to find what I needed without spending minutes I didn t have figuring out how to use it Love the layout and ease of use Every ME and House Electrician should buy it or else you spend hours wasting time holding unruly swatchbooks up to an overhead light Thanks                     Love it Romanson Industries

I use this app alot when I get lists of gel numbers and need to know what color it is I really wish that Apollo is included in the catalog                 Useful App But needs Apollo willbb123

Just what I need while touring Simple effective and accurate Thanks                 Great GP-Design

Very handy application One thought it would be nice when viewing the individual swatches to be able to scroll to the next or previous colors For example when viewing R14 I may want to scroll to R15 and then R16 but would like to see the spectrum transmission levels Thanks                     ability to scroll on each swatch LD0001

Needs apollo and rosco cinegel Also too expensive if this one also had a color mixer built in then I would be happier with the price If it wasn t for the fact that I needed to always have a gel list for all the theaters I worked at on hand then I wouldn t have wasted my money             Useful But Dionysus1117

I used the heck out of this app this past week A touring company sent me their rider with 3 different brands of gel on their lighting sheets I was able to quickly cross reference each color and get the colors close enough to keep them happy I had most of what they wanted but not quite the same brand What they wanted in Rosco I had in Lee and what they wanted in Lee I had in Gam or Rosco I don t have the budget rather a budget at all to accomodate every touring group that comes here This helped me do just that with what I had in my inventory Thanks guys and I ll stop by your booth at USITT and thank you personally                     Invaluable jimbo45

I have been surprised with how many times I actually have used this app I find that the similar gels feature is the most useful and having the CMY and RGB values of each color is great when attempting to match a color mixing source to a specific gel color However I agree with the other reviews about the order of Rosco gels being screwed up and needing to include Apollo gels Please update this app I paid 10 for it I think I deserve an update                 very useful app garrettherzig

Lost 1 star for the way rosco gel is ordered make it the same as the swatchbook and another star for the lack of Apollo Fix those and it s a 5 star app             Great idea with a few flaws EricJLarson

There are no expected extremes in todays technology nor should one expect an iphone app to replace real world This app was a good idea and offers a lot of people including myself a relative quick reference for industry colors on the fly Thank you Wybron But Fracker is right Until I read ALL of the reviews i didn t realize who I now know he definitely does not work for Well then spank me pink             CaptainFracker is on to something here BKRickets

It s useful but add Apollo The ability to cross compare any two gels not just similar and complementary is something I d like to see I ve already begun using it in show it s been really handy Hard to compare gel color in cue to cue darkness the spectrograph is invaluable             Useful more headway to be made Doctor Dan

Like the program needs improvement I am curious why when asking for similar colors in cto it doesn t compare similarly titled colors between Lee Rosco and Gam                 Good Overall maxmetro

Small wish list item the ability to compare any two colors not just the suggested similar colors and compliments Big wish list item suggested gel colors based on color picker type criteria For example more saturated less green etc                 A few suggestions jbenghiat

Great App does exactly what they say it does I m a lighting designer and i have to say its nice not having to carry around all my gel books when really all I need is the waveform and the transmission Saying that be careful about picking colors based on how they look on the screen but then again if you need that warning thus app is not for you Hope they bring Apollo to us in the future but the app is worth the money with just Rosco GAM and Lee                     Best 10 i ve spent on here so far maxwell.bowman

I find this app quite useful The ability to see colors both similar and complementary to the selected color is great and the full set of info on each color is appreciated I am somewhat irritated by the order in which the Rosco colors appear R111 appears after R11 R3405 appears after R34 none of the 300 series appears after their associated primary colors Were it not for that ordering issue I would have given a full 5 stars I have 2 suggestions both of which I would gladly pay considerably more for First add the ability to see a comparison of each color with a 3200 source and a 5600 source Second add the Vari Lite colors to the selection                 SO close to perfect Jason is taken?

Why would I buy an iphone app that doesn t have all of the gels out there when I can go to the nearest shp and get all the swatch books for free and this is only an approximation of what the gel woudl ok like againt white paper not in life     Swatch Books are free ToasterDog

Ok I thought this app was awsome It has plenty of gels and there are more to come I hear I would like to see more apps like this For example one where you calculate the throw distance of a light and the beam diameter I think that would be hot Please consider this it would be AWSOME if you guys could come out with lighting apps for the theater that had to do with more than just gels But I liked this one                     Mr Anderson Offenhoffer

I think this is a very useful application and I ve already used it a few times The ability to look at similar and contrasting colors at a click are just great To all the people complaining that it doesn t have historical asian gel or multiple methods of color picking realize that this is the first appearance of this applciation I m sure future upates will include even more useful methods of selection                     Very useful samiwas

While this app is useful I was dissapointed by the limited selection of gel companies no Apollo I was also disappointed by the lack of convienent browsing features such as a color wheel or grid             Not worth 10 Robert Brownstein

This is great Can t wait for updates so it has Apollo which is the same as Rosco I Know I run a lighting rental house and this will be very usefull for suggesting colors and similiar colors to my customers Price is a little high for such a simple app but that s our industry                 Awesome lekoguy

This app is very well written and very versitile Kudos to Wybron for really thinking this one out and putting many features into it                     Very well done theatergy

This is the coolist thing I have seen for the iPhone thus far I bought it and downloaded it imeadiatly of course it only makes sense if you do theatre lighting but if you do it bodes well for the future of the iPhone in this field Now if only apple would allow us to turn off the cell with out putting the phone in to airplane mode so that the wifi could still be used for DMX over wifi and other show control with out the sound guy getting all bent out of shape we might be on to something really cool Oh yeah and the app performed as expected and should come in real handy                     I squeealed with delight Chris Eklund
