Before digital photography took its place among professional photographers the common practice was the use of film and, consequently, a large archive of negatives and slides. HelloPhoto is a light box to help us scan these negatives and slides that we have saved.
The iPhone has only one space to place a negative or slide 35mm, while the iPad can be placed three slides of four negatives each, 9 slides of 35mm, a negative, 120mm slide or use the space as light box.
You can adjust the intensity of the light box with a sliding control that is at the bottom of the box. Also, it has the ability to select the white balance to match the temperature of negatives or slides.
In this app the iPhone and the iPad can work together. The iPad is used as a light box and put the negatives or slides to be scanned and the iPhone is used as a camera that gives us the option to select the type of image that is playing, slide or negative.
