Re: [artshow_photo] Pro grade light meter that captures/geotags/metadata the image

There was some discussion of that app and some others on another list and
the simple fact is that the iPhone (nor any others that I know of) has a
light sensor. So the app is just trying to interpolate light levels by
looking at the image on the screen. This is not a 'pro level' light meter or
any other kind of light meter.
