Need more testers for Aquarium Camera app ver 2.0

Not too shabby! I feel like the blue adjustment range is still too high. Shot on an iPhone 6s under ATI T5 (1 Coral Plus, 3 Blue Plus, 2 True Actintic).

What kind of crab is that?

Here’s a few more. Works well but the brightness slider has to be very gentle or everythIng gets blown out.

This is a mini-maxi hosting a porcelain crab. One of my favorite relationships in the ocean!

Which control are you referring to? The yellow to blue light or the rgb controls? Curious more what you're app settings are looking like.

I was referring to the blue of rbg. The blue is still too strong, and I don't even run my lights as blue as some people. I can increase green and red to compensate, but this just throws off the balance.

Here is a shot with my settings for reference...

Didnt have a lot of time to play with it yet but first few shots came out pretty darn good IMO. Well done!

Looks like I need a porcelain crab!

I'd love to try this out?

I can't slide the red slider.

Update to the latest version in testflight and that will be fixed.

 

[John Ostler]

Hey all, super appreciate the pics and comments. Keep them coming!

All of you testing should have a version that fixes the broken (R)ed slider now. I have some ideas in order to simplify the interface and perhaps add a quick overview of what the sliders do. I was hoping that after a bunch of testing I could go back to have just 1 slider in the app but as it turns out each light and each coral needs a little different recipe of sliders. So, back to the drawing board to make this easy to use again, ha.

Major feedback items so far:

• Return to default controls - an easy way to return to defaults if you went a little too nuts with sliders :-D
• Tutorial screen - might be nice to do a quick overview of the different controls or try to simplify the app
  
• Add numeric values - let me see numbers on all sliders so I can return to the ones that work best
• Warmth and Saturation - can we control this as a bonus 2 more values
• Brightness - wayyy too sensitive, it's blowing out shots
• Blueness over-compensation - need a way to accommodate tanks that aren't blue light specials
• Provide a simple / advanced mode for those of you who were perfectly fine with the single slider of version 1.0
• Edit already taken photos - be able to edit photos already taken (not sure I can do this totally because pre-shot is the ideal time to adjust)

I think, this version 2.0 is good to go as-is, so that I can start work on a few more of the bullets above.
Any objections?

Those look FANTASTIC! any objections in using your shots in the website or in the app store?

Thanks, @Scurvy !! Any objections to using a couple shots in the website or app store?

 

[Scurvy]

No, Not at all. I really didn’t get a chance to play with it too much and will have more time with heavy blues tomorrow but feel free to use em. I’ll post up some more tomorrow.

Rockin, thanks! I'll wait to see how they look when put to the test, haha.

Now that the red slider is working, much easier to adjust. Still struggling with the dark purples in the blues. Reds pinks oranges pretty easy to match visually.

Oh, interesting. Dark purples being a problem is actually a good insight. If you do end up getting a combination that works well with the current app I'd love to know the values. Super appreciate the feedback and image post.

 

[John Ostler]

Just tried on the office tank.

So good! Any objections to using some of these shots on the website or app store?

 

[John Ostler]

Also, I'd love before/afters if you guys are able to just to benchmark how well the app is working.

 

[dcraigj]

I like the app. Love the ease of use. I only took a few shots due to lights out. I turned the t5's on to see how app works. Tomorrow I will spend some more time and get some better shots.

If we buy the aquarium app 1.0 do we get an update for 2.0? Or do we have to buy it all over again?
