In art, a value (or tone) is how light or dark a colour is. If you're learning to paint or draw, doing value studies is an excellent place to start. These small, loose sketches in greyscale show where shadows fall and highlights appear. These are particularly useful when the subject is more complicated and it's hard to see through the colours to show the subtle shadows.
If you're learning to paint or draw, value studies are a surefire way to improve both your artwork and how you visualise references in your mind. People often use photo editors to convert a colour photo to black and white... this is helpful, but this app goes further.
By using Value Study, you can flick between levels of detail. Maybe you want to start with just black and white to get a base down, then add in extra values one by one to build up your understanding of the reference you are studying.
You can even take it a step further and select all areas with matching tones. Click one of the values along the bottom in the greyscale palette to see all areas that match it in the image, so you can focus on one value while painting it. For example, in a portrait, this could mean seeing how different parts of the body have the same amount of shadow despite potentially looking wildly different when viewed in colour.
Value Study is a tool, not to replace your value studies but to enhance them and significantly help beginner artists know where to start when looking at complicated reference imagery.

How do I save a photo? I just upgraded and it is not as intuitive as when free

Game changer

Susjjan on

United States

I am a blind artist and use this app to figure out the values of my drawings. I think it is helping my brain “see”. It is so helpful to understand the values of planes and how they interact to create shapes. I can’t thank you enough for this amazing app.!

Easy to use

Peteskid on

United States

The best I’ve found to help myself and my students to achieve correct values in watercolor. Love the App.

Live and portrait mode fantastic!

Patsy C3 on

United States

As a portrait artist, the portrait mode is a great tool for eliminating background noise, and live video mode works great with landscapes, especially cityscapes to see contrasts. Lets you see values better than any other tool I’ve used. Extremely reasonable cost for what you get. Less expensive than a cardboard values chart!

Is there a video to show how to use it

I don’t understand how to use this app

Thank you so much for updating the value scale!

J. Grimm on

United States

I was so glad to see the ability to set the value scale numbers to what makes most logical sense to me. I now have set: “Color direction” set to “White to Black” “Show value numbers” set to “on” “Start at 0” is checked. For anyone reading this review: heads up! The developer has graciously given us advance notice of going to a subscription model but allowing us and anyone who buys Pro before June to be grandfathered in. Buy the Pro upgrade ASAP! —-PREVIOUS REVIEW—- Could you please consider either reversing the value numbers or offering an option to do so? As it stands now, it’s slightly confusing especially when using copic markers which are numbered from lightest to darkest. It should be the higher the number, the darker it gets. That’s the way it is in the 2 other apps Lucida and DaVinchi. But I like to use this app for the overall simplicity & quickness of it. Currently: 1 Black 2 Dark Gray 3 Gray 4 White. It should be: 0 White 1 Gray 2 Dark Gray 3 Black. What do you think dev?

Phenomenal app

NorthWestPainter on

United States

I am a landscape painter, and use this app with every painting, first to check tonality of the image, and also during the painting process. Every time I teach, I urge my students to get this app. It's just a fantastic addition to our tool chest. I can't thank the developer enough for making my artistic life so much easier!

Great program
