Jan, So you can take a picture of something, then run your finger over the image, and it will tell you what color is under your finger? Can you also import pictures and do the same? Thom

Each wire was less than a millimeter in diameter. However, it is a bit more to do about it. First, as already mentioned here, a black or dark background brings better results. Catching the wire in life scan may work, but is hard to achieve. The better solution is to bring the camera lense very close to the wire (1 centimeter or something like that) and then take a picture with the Fire button in the center bottom of the screen. The ColorVisor will bring up the PhotoScanner mode with the just taken photo in the upper part of the screen. You can tap onto the picture and ColorVisor will deliver you the color under your finger. Since the wire was so close to the camera it s size on the photo was quite large and I was able to find it within some seconds. The more far the wire is away the more difficult would it be to find it on the picture. Since the wire is round, there are different light conditions at different parts of the surface. In my case, the white wire delivered colrs like White, Ivory or light rose and the red one next to it something like Dark Red, Tomato and Firebrick. I did this without torch turned on, since taking the photo with flash yield in a completely white picture. Therefore, light conditions have to be taken into account. I hope that did help you and gave you an impression. Greetings Jan --- ColorVisor - The app to identify colors.

I'm sorry that you haven't that much luck with it from the beginning. Did you solved the problem, meanwhile? As Richard said, if you are in normal light conditions you may hold the camera a few inch away from the object. Take care about the shadow of your iPhone if you know the direction the light is coming from. If this doesn't work, turn on the torch by tapping the torch button at the bottom of the screen or simply shake your device. With the torch on, you may even lay your iPhone directly on the object. Sometimes, you may have different colors from the same uni-colored object. For example, if you scan clothes that are somehow folded or do have a lot of structure such as wool, there might be the original blue at one position and dark blue, violet or even dark grey at another position where shadows arise. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have further problems. There is also a support request built into the ColorVisor (press the Info-Button at the right center) to reach it.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to work properly. For the most part, it seem to think that everything is black. Every now and then, it may say several other colors. However, the other colors including saying black, is spoken when the camera is pointed at the same item. Is anyone using this app with much success? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
