    • Goldfrapp
    • On their latest CD, Supernature, Goldfrapp has put together a successful mix of 1980-era New Romanticism, German cabaret, and T. Rex glam that leaves you riveted even through the album's lulls. It's a great amalgam that sounds current without sounding at all dated.

GrayCard Puts Turns iPhone Into a Digital Gray Card for Photographers

GrayCard

Pixelexip announced Friday the release of GrayCard 1.0 for iPhone and iPod touch, an app that allows your iPhone or iPod touch to be a portable, digital gray card in conjunction with post production on your Mac or PC. Gray cards are used by photographers to check their white balance for control over their lighting.

The app requires the following steps (as offered by the company):

  1. Select how your scene is lit by choosing either Daylight/Flash or Tungsten (indoor lights, lamps and hotlights).
  2. Easily warm or cool your photographs by selecting different white balances based on the light source being used. There are even minus green adjustments for correcting for fluorescent lighting.
  3. Photograph your iPhone or iPod Touch in your scene displaying the desired white balance on the GrayCard application.
  4. On your computer, use the white/gray balance eyedropper on the photo of your iPhone or iPod Touch. You have now taken control of the white balance in your photo.

GrayCard requires iPhone Software 2.1, and is priced at US$.99 at the App Store.

This sounds very flawed.  A grey card is lit by the light that you’d be using in the photo.  But the iPod generates it’s own light that has nothing to do with your subject.  Touching “Daylight” or “Tungsten” would have the same results as using the indoor or outdoor presets in your camera.
