More About Value Study
If you're learning to paint or draw, value studies are a sure-fire 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're able to 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 that have a matching tone. 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 in 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 own value studies but to enhance them and especially to help beginner artists have some idea how where to start when looking at complicated reference imagery.
What's New in Value Study 2.3.1 >
This is an exciting release... it's bug fixes, but I have finally figured out how to fix the big one! Yep, ZOOMING should now work properly even when switching selected values and when using the live filter (video) mode. If you're new to this app, this will seem like a tiny thing but I know how many of you have reached out about the bug so I'm glad to release this!
You can also now double tap the image when zoomed in to zoom back out all the way.
