Opsino · Colors in photos

What color is in your photo?

Clothing in a picture, a flower or a detail you want to revisit later: photo mode lets you name colors in stored images.

1. Choose a photo

Tap the photo icon to the left of Help, then choose an image in the iOS photo picker. Opsino receives only this photo; your original stays unchanged. The camera and flashlight are off while you explore it.

The iOS photo picker explains that Opsino receives only selected photos.
You choose the photo Opsino can analyze.

2. Tap the area you want to identify

Tap the image to place a measurement circle and see the color name with guidance. Swipe up or down on the circle to adjust its size. Try to include only the color you want to identify. Choose Show details to read more about the reading.

Opsino analyzes a tulip photo: the circle is on a petal and the result reads red.
A selected area in the photo gets a color name.

3. Zoom in and explore another area

Use two fingers to zoom and move the photo. The circle stays on the same image location. Double-tap to see the whole photo. To choose a new area, first remove the reading with the small × beside the circle; the photo stays intact. The arrow on the result card collapses it. The large × at the top closes photo mode.

Opsino’s photo guide explains the circle, zoom and removing a reading.
Help adapts to photo mode.

Understand the image color

Opsino describes the color stored in the photo. Lighting, white balance and filters used in the picture can change it from the original object’s color. Guidance concerns the selected image area, such as very dark or overexposed patches, mixed colors or too few pixels. A result without detected issues does not prove the object’s true color.

Frequently asked questions

Will my photo be changed or uploaded?

No. Color identification happens on your iPhone. Opsino does not edit or delete the original or upload it for analysis.

Does photo mode work offline?

Analysis works offline. The photo needs to be available on your iPhone; iOS may first need to download an image stored only in iCloud.

Can I identify a color somewhere else in the photo?

Yes. Tap the small × beside the circle to remove the current reading. You can then tap a new area in the photo.
