KEV - White Balance Meter AI Reviews

by Juioji

While it seems to give a fairly accurate reading, the save and photo function doesn’t usually work. After taking a photo of the reading you should be able to send it via airdrop or message or email so that you can save the photo. KEV itself doesn’t have a library and doesn’t save the images to your own phones photos camera roll. AirDrop and message don’t ever work

I’m trying to read Kelvin below 2700 KEV crashes

by Kirdetzoff

I don’t believe the data is trust worthy as I get completely different results in colour temperature between the front and back camera. Sometimes over a thousand kelvins.

I purchased KEV about a year ago but only recently begin testing it out. So far it seems relatively accurate based on my findings using the xrite color checker. I do however hope they add a green/magenta reading as well to fine tune this using LED with tint sliders.

Long story short is not really accurate it wider ranges. If I come close to a source reflecting light it’s dead on but if I’m checking a scene, it’s off by like +2600 kelvins. Almost like KEV is evaluative it on spot lol.

Developer suggestion: you should update with a simple option for us to calibrate the readings by adding a +/- kelvin box we can add +/- numbers. So if your app is reading 5000, Ican have a calibration number of -1500 so it shows me EXACT. I found its off in wider ranges here about 2600 and I compensate the calculation for my cameras white balance and it’s dead on after that.

I work a lot with getting colours right. My ideal is natural colors of skin tones and everything else. Once I get the colours, I then decide to tweak them to warmer or colder. this app has helped me achieve it, I don’t have to go to Lightroom to do it.

I bought this for one particular problematic photo, in which I was shooting a multisource lighting condition, low light with a complex set of materials in the image

this app gave me a kelvin number, I dialed it into my image editor, and the resulting image was exactly what I wanted

So nice 😊

I’ve been wanting to have a white balance meter forever, so happy I found KEV. Seems to be very accurate and it helps greatly to setup my white balance in mixed light sources. Thanks!

If you’re a photography enthusiast, KEV is a must-have. Super accurate and beautifully designed.

To the developer: thank you - this is just what I was looking for.

I needed a tool to set my video light color temperature to match the ambient light. This gets me close enough to a good value where the video looks more natural.

KEV does the job very well. Saving a lot of time in post processing. If you are a photographer or a videographer, you need KEV. Recommended 👍👍

Taking multiple measurements helps provide a range of reasonable white balance values and supports aesthetic judgement when processing RAW files

Amazing. Astounding. Love! You’ve set the bar.
Back in the day I took a month of DSLR classes master this skill.
You broke it down and made it better with an iPhone no less.

Thank you for all that you do.
Keep the amazing coming.
I’m a customer for life.

As a cinematographer for over 20 years, I have been looking forever to replace my LightMeter with a digital one on my phone.

I shoot Primarily in LOG and color balance is key to a beautiful image.

KEV has been amazing! I highly recommend it.

Thank you thank you thank you!
