Camera Mode Adjustments and Device Selection

Quick Answer

The GemIQ mobile app gives you precise control over your capture setup.

GemAI features automate background removal, retouching, and product descriptions. Switch between connected GemLightbox devices using the device button on the capture screen.

Camera Mode Adjustments

Tap on the background selection option in camera mode to open the background menu.

Eclipse Mode

Captures images and videos against a black background. Use this mode to create a dramatic, high-contrast presentation that draws focus to the jewelry piece.

Neutral mode

Captures images and videos on a natural background. Use this mode to create a clean and realistic presentation that preserves the true colors and details of the jewelry piece.

Color and Brightness Adjustments

Brightness Adjustment

Controls overall image brightness. Move the slider right to brighten the image or left to darken it.

Tone Adjustment

Adjusts the warmth of your image. Move the slider to make the piece appear warmer or cooler.

Temperature Adjustment

Adjusts the color temperature of your image. Increasing the temperature adds a warm, yellowish tone; decreasing it adds a cooler, bluish tone.

Tint Adjustment

Shifts the color hue toward green or magenta. Use this to remove unwanted color casts and achieve accurate color representation across metals, gems, and fine details.

Auto White Balance

Automatically corrects color balance so your jewelry appears true to its actual color, regardless of the light source. When Auto White Balance is on, the Temperature and Tint sliders are locked. Turn it off to adjust them manually.

Aspect Ratio

Sets the aspect ratio before you begin shooting so your images and videos are captured in the right format for your intended use — website listings, social media, or catalog exports.

When using a GemLightbox turntable for video recording, use Turntable mode to control rotation settings.

Setting	What It Does
Video Mode	Captures your jewelry from multiple angles for a complete, dynamic presentation.
