Matching Selador to Lee and Rosco Gels

In the past, I have used the Eos offline software to make a cheat sheet for CMY values for moving lights.  I have a library of some of my favorite colors.

I would think Congo offline software would effectively do this by assigning a Selador template and then using the "gel picker" option... I think Eos/Ion has this as well though I've not used it there. Not to devalue the requests for smartphone apps, as of course this is a rather unweildy method of getting a gel selector.

Were there plans to update the congo profiles for selador? As of the current software release, mine still doesnt know how to interpret the 7 color mixing into values. Its ignoring the indigo red-orange and amber leds. Just curious, since the ION profiles seem so far ahead of the game. I'd like to use my congo color picker as well.

Hi there -

To be clear, you're talking about the circular color picker and not the gel picker, right? Congo's color picker is a simpler version than the Eos/Ion version and can only operate on three-color systems. The Gel Picker, however, works with the Seledor 7 color system and is what we recommend when using Selador with Congo.

Having said that, in Congo v6.1 software, expected later this year, we are implementing the Eos color picker completely, including Selador support and use of the calibrated color information available to us in the Extended Library, along with a few other things. So, until then, I recommend using the Gel Picker tab (Browser>Devices>Gel Picker), or the Gels content in the Direct Selects for direct entry of gel numbers (set the DS Type to Gels, which will display 10 manufacturer names, then type # and press the Manufacturer of that gel number to apply it to selected color-mixing fixtures.)

I hope this helps -

Thanks much -

Sarah

Any Chance we might see a Android or Blackberry version of this?
