Tools for photographers using the 3Com's Pilot computer

New!! The new 2.0 version has just been released. The new version features the following enahncements (and more):

• Full backward compatibility. All databases created with the 1.0 version will be preserved. Just install the new PRCs in your Pilot and start.
  
• Most of the databases (lenses, filters, etc) have been redesigned to hold more information as
  requested by some of you.
  
• For example, you can now enter 3 film personal EI for the three major light condition (day,
  tungsten, strobe). Filters can also be associated with 3 different factors depending on light
  condition. There is a note field for cameras and lenses where you can now store informations such
  as serial numbers. Lenses can be defined as Zoom lenses by giving a Min and Max focal length, this
  data is used by PhotoDOF. The aperture can now be set in 1/3 stops, 1/2 stops or both.
  
• Bigger display: All modules (PhotoDOF and PhotoLog) have now a much bigger display (using the big
  
• LED font of the calculator for numbers) which makes it even more usable in the field, and some
  bugs have been fixed too.
  
• There is now a help page for almost all forms in the product, I encourage you to take a look at
  them since I particularily stressed the point on the new features. Look for the little 'i' sign
  anywhere on the page and tap it for contextual help.

PalmPhotographe is a suite of applications for the 3Com Pilot computer for use by small, medium and large format photographers.

The current version, Photographe 2.0, is composed of 3 independant modules:

        - PhotoPar (Parameter module)

        - PhotoDOF (Depth Of Field module)

        - PhotoLog (Logger module)

All apps from the Photographe 2.0 family are shareware and can be purchased from PilotGear.

PhotoPar - Parameter module

Allows the user to enter all relevant information regarding her/his photo equipment. This data is used by all other modules of the Photographe 2.0 family. This module is the configuration module and is distributed for free with any other registered module in the Photographe 2.0 suite.

Take a look at the documentation

PhotoPar is free with any registered module from the Photographe 2.0 family.

PhotoDOF - Depth Of Field module

This module allows you to see the field of focus for a given set of lens/circle of confusion/distance/aperture. Uses diffraction correction in all calculations if desired. The aperture finder gives you the correct distance/aperture for two given distances that must be in focus, and more! All calculations are done in real time, as you type in the data and are performed in meters or feet with extreme accuracy. Includes Photographe 2.0 - Parameter Module (FREE with any registered Photographe 2.0 module).

New in v2.0:

• Zoom lenses can now be used with the DOF module. When a zoom lens is selected, you can change the focal length using the up and down arrows on the screen.
  
• You can copy the current DOF information in the clipboard.
  
• It is now easier to switch between the DOF Calculator and the Aperture Finder screens using a quick access button on the screen.

PhotoLog - Logger module

The logger will automatically do bellow extension calculations, filter factor compensation, reciprocity correction (from reciprocity tables you create yourself, however the app ships with preset table for standard film). It allows the photographer to set up as many camera bodies as desired and allows switching from one to another very easily, keeping the current setting per camera (lens, filter, format, extension, roll & frame reference). The log created for the shot is stored as a MemoPad memo when you are ready, and is stored into a human-readable form. Includes Photographe 2.0 - Parameter Module (FREE with any registered Photographe 2.0 module).

New in v2.0:

• The notes field now has its own separate dialog accessible through a little icon at the right of
  the description field. You can now log unknown speed or aperture, it will be displayed in the
  display area as a double question mark in a rectangle.
  
• You can now stack up to 3 filters, the total factor is calculated correctly. You can also select a
  lighting situation (day, tungsten, strobe) which will affect the filter factor(s) as well as the
  reciprocity table to use.
  
• There is now a preferenses dialog which allows you to turn on and off some features which were on
  by default in the 1.0 version (such as the confirmation dialog before a log). Take a look at this
  dialog, accessible from the Menu
  
• The generated log is smarter now, and tries to avoid repetitive information when not necessary,
  saving memory at the same time.
