Use your iPhone as a portable light table

Film Light @ iphonephotovideo.com iphone photo video iPod Touch iTouch iCamera iPad iTabletDo you still shoot film, maybe with one of these great Leica cameras? Do you carry a light table with you, since you need to look at film or slides when you travel?

Now there’s an alternative to carrying a heavy light table. It’s an iPhone app called Film Light.

Select from preset film or slider templates or create your own custom template. Then put the film or slide on top of the iPhone screen to view it. Only the defined viewing area is back-lit, the rest of the iPhone screen is grayed out to prevent peripheral light interference. To resize a template simply touch anywhere in the main view, then drag while observing the screen’s center as the anchor point. Use built-in safeguards against unintentional touches via a locking mechanism for template resizing. Film Light also supports full accelerator-based rotation.

An adjustable temperature slider grants users full control over warm and cool degrees of light to maintain an accurate representation of the inherent colors of film positives.

Price: $1.99 from iTunes.
