A light box, also known as a Tracing Light Table, is a versatile device used to examine photographic film or artwork placed on its surface. It features a translucent cover and uses fluorescent lights, which emit minimal heat, to provide uniform illumination from below. This setup ensures that every detail of the film or artwork is clearly visible. Light boxes are not only essential in art studios and photography labs but are also commonly found mounted on the walls of hospitals and medical offices for the review of X-ray images.
The Light Table app enhances this functionality by offering a digital solution. It hides all navigation elements, ensuring a distraction-free environment, and sets the screen brightness to its maximum level to provide a clean, well-lit surface. This app is particularly effective on devices with screens of 7 inches or larger, as the increased display size allows for the placement of larger objects on top of it.
