About Pocket Softbox
Pocket Softbox provides you a quick and easy light source for photography or video making.
Turn your phone/tablet screen into a colored light source, and use it for your photography or videos in low-light conditions when you can't bring your heavy equipment with you.
The interface is simple and built for speed. Just drag your finger across the screen to change the light color.
Pocket Softbox features two main modes:
★ RGB colors: all the color spectrum is available, with fully saturated colors near the edge of the screen, and leaning towards white near the center. A tooltip gives you the hex value of the selected color.
★ Kelvin scale: choose a color from the temperature spectrum, ranging from 1000K to 10000K. A tooltip gives you the approximate Kelvin value of the selected color.
Other functions:
• Color lock: lock the screen to prevent accidental color changes.
• Eye light: change light shape to a circle if you need a round light in your subject's eyes.
• Save current color as a preset for reusing it in the future.
• 7 color presets already available.
1500K candle light
2700K incandescent lamp 40W
3200K tungsten lamp
4500K fluorescent lamp

Directors & DPs lose their minds over this when I pop my phone in for texture or a little bounce fill. Great app

The color temps were no where near what was stated. No way to easily type in a temp numerically.

Simple, yet a great feature set. Ideal when learning how to use lighting without spending a fortune on gear!

Great concept! Maybe have optional shapes for eyelight? Dimming the light to zero caused my phone to totally crash requiring removal of battery. No way to contact developer from within app?

I don't know if there's ever been any free photography app made available to Android users that is more useful AND easily used than this. And there's no advertising to contend with? What's the catch? It will be useful on a phone to provide spot lighting on a subject if you're using an external camera, but what pleased me most was that it has taken my infrequently-used 10-inch tablet and given it new purpose as a very portable, even more useful softbox. My sincere thanks go to the creators. Just great stuff.
