Neil, Do keep practising, this really is an excellent app and I've used it for a few years now on a four for S and our six.indeed, with the six I am being challenged!I got so used it before and before S their size et cetera, but now I'm finding I am a little less accurate with six being a bigger phone with more latitude for misalignment.as far as "true" colours are concerned, it is a moot point because colour really varies according to light.A shadow will not only change the colour to something darker but it may change it intentive make it more blue on more red et cetera.I have found the CamFind is best at saying blue red brown green rather than going into euphoric descriptions of multiple shaded colours.Plus, I took a shot of our Christmas tree and it said "green Christmas tree with Christmas decorations and Santa Claus".so, for complex pictures it is really useful!finally, if you want to identify a product if you can get some label into the camera view you have a very good chance of it being identified but when you take these shots you have to try and get the camera to focus primarily on the object you wish to identify rather than within a general scene. So, close-up!
good luck! Sandy Sent from my iPhone > On 5 Jan 2015, at 16:08, Neal Ewers <neal.ew...@ravenswood.org> wrote: > > Well, I just installed camfind and it is, so far, about 50% accurate.
