White Balance Kelvin Meter 4+

Very well conceived and designed!

I struggled to find an intuitive and well designed White Balance Kevin Meter.

Either they didn’t work, wouldn’t scale properly for my screen size or lacked a camera preview window, to be 100% sure if what readings I was really taking. (What was the camera actually aimed at?).

This app checks all the boxes of elegant, fast, scalable, accurate and highly intuitive.

The only challenge I had was not fully understanding the need to use a piece of paper to sample the reflected light from - and came to see that using a piece of paper either as a diffuser (hold over lens) or as a reflective surface to be used with one’s light source, balances out the readings very nicely.

I’m not a Photographer, but wanted to measure the Light Temperature of some very obnoxious Street Lights which are well over 5,000 Kelvin - far above the AMA’s guideline of them being under 3,000 Kelvin (even lower is better 2,200 to 2,700 even).

The Developer couldn’t be better. Super kind, responsive and skilled.

Very satisfied and highly recommend this effective and elegant app!

Impressive!

Got the three day trial and after testing I’m paying for the pro version. Way more accurate than I figured it would be. If you have proper light sources you can calibrate the app to you particular phone for even better results.
It works best in a dark environment so you’re only measuring the light you want. I just used a sheet of white paper and tested different flashlights in a dark room. For household lights, I waited until dark and tested by only turning on the light I wanted to measure. Worth the small fee for a lifetime license.

Very accurate

I’ve found this to be a very accurate meter for color temperature, I tested against various light bulbs where I knew the exact color temp and it was spot on. I also appreciate the measurement of color tint, which was a big part of why I downloaded this app, I am looking at ways to incorporate that into my photo adjustments. The flash filter recommendations may also come in handy too.

Developer Response ,

Thanks a lot for your 5-star review - it is very much appreciated! Happy to hear that the measurements are spot on and that you find the new tint measurement as well as the new flash filter recommendation useful! Please do not hesitate to contact me at apps@contechity.com if you have any ideas on how to improve the app further or add more features. Thanks again for using my app!
