Lghmtr

Lghmtr is an existing app that I chose to redesign. As an avid user of Lghmtr, I noticed several issues that needed fixing, making it the perfect subject for a school project. The app functions like a traditional camera light meter — you take a photo of a scene, and it provides the ideal aperture, ISO, and shutter speed settings for a perfect exposure. It’s designed mainly for photographers, especially film users who shoot in manual mode.

The original design lacked memory features and forced users to repeatedly re-enter values, which could take just long enough to ruin a shot. My redesign solves this by introducing saveable camera presets and easily lockable values perfect for film photographers who shoot all 36 frames before changing rolls. Previously, this meant having to reset ISO manually over 36 times per roll!

Other improvements, such as refined font sizes, an integrated gallery to save reference images, and a redesigned camera interface, make the app feel much more usable and intuitive. The overall layout now feels more familiar to Apple users while offering far more convenience and functionality than the original version.
