COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Wybron’s Gel Swatch Library Version 1.3, which has nearly 1,000 gel colors, now features Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) graphs five times larger than the app’s previous graphs, revealing color details for lighting production professionals.
The updated version will be available through Apple’s App Store. Existing Gel Swatch Library users can download the update at no additional charge.
Each SED graph displays a color’s wavelengths in nanometers, ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers and marked every 10 nanometers. Each graph also displays a color’s light transmission percentages marked in 10-percent increments.
“Customer feedback continues to help us refine the Gel Swatch Library,” said Scott Longberry, Wybron engineer and co-developer of the application. “Fully one-half of the current changes are a direct result of customer requests for enhanced functionality.”
Other changes implemented in Version 1.3 include:
- Full-screen viewing enabled by shaking the iPhone (or iPod touch)
- Ability to clear “Recently Viewed Colors” list
- Ability to turn off sounds
- New splash screen
- "Numeric order” and “swatch book order” buttons combined into one cycling button
The updated application still lets users search through gels made by GAM, Lee and Rosco, and to compare any two colors and examine similar and complementary colors.
Wybron is also pursuing additional iPhone applications that should be released soon, Longberry said. The company has hinted at a new library of gobos, which should be released soon.
