Gel Swatch Library App Reviews

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.

This thing is amazing- no more shuffling around for a swatchbook in my bag . . . And now that it has apollo it's perfect!

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.

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 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.

... 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.

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

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! I would love to be able to cross compare ANY 2 gels, not just what is comparable to the first selected gel. Also once you add a gel to a project, you should be able to click on those gels and see the waveform and transmission %. Not just attached notes. Fix those two things and you’ve got a 5 star app!

Well, that took 5 years but I'm very grateful for the additions and improvements. Thanks!

Great tool if you take the time to set your screens brightness and color temperature this app renders color really well. Also has nice features to make your life easier.

I’ve had this app for over a decade and it’s great. Solid.
