28 new films (92 in all) and GRLife Pro App 2.1.1

Three updates at once: 28 new films in the film library, the GRLife Pro App at 2.1.1, and a fix to the film list in movie mode on the GR IV (Beta). On a GR III / IIIx there is nothing to flash; you replace one file.

All 28 are part of the GRLife Pro Film Collection. Get it once and you can use all 92 films in the library and every film added later. Without it, the film page still shows them, locked, and you can open them to read about them.

The 28 new films

Each picture is a reference photo rendered with that film’s data; tap one to open the film’s page. All 28 are computed in GRLife’s spectral simulation from Fotufilm’s film data (CC BY-SA 4.0).

V2: second versions of 11 films, simulated again from the films’ spectral data; the earlier versions stay.

New films: 17, from slide and cinema stocks to Lomography’s colour-shifting films.

App 2.1.1 (shared by GR III / IIIx / IV)

• About shows the App version.
• On the GR III / IIIx, About shows the model as “GR III / IIIx”; it used to say GR IIIx on every body.
• The film page lists the films you have: picking only a few no longer leaves a row of locked films. With only the five built-in films, the other films still show with a lock, and you can open them to read about them.
• The “Hide locked films” switch is gone; the point above takes care of it.

GR IV (Beta)

• In movie mode the ADJ panel no longer lists films (they could be picked but had no effect on video). The film for photos is unchanged. Needs the newly generated firmware.

How to update

1. Open the firmware page, generate again with your earlier choices and download the ZIP.
2. GR III / IIIx: copy GRLPRO.GRP from the ZIP’s GRLIFE folder into the GRLIFE folder on the card, replacing the old one. No flashing.
3. GR IV: flash the newly generated firmware as the page shows, and replace GRLPRO.GRP the same way.
4. Keep the FILMS.GRF already on the card; don’t overwrite it with the ZIP’s copy, which holds only the five built-in films. Press OK on the camera: About should show App version v2.1.1.
