ValueViewer is an indespensible tool for artists who paint from life. Whether en plein air or in the studio, ValueViewer will allow the user to take a photo of their subject, view it in grayscale, or posterize it into three values. You may also select an existing image directly from a photo album on your iPhone. There are seven different value levels that will help you "key" your painting correctly, and assist in helping you "see" value, even in the most unforgiving light. The image can be zoomed in and out, and scrolled into position to help you find just the right composition for your painting. Convenient overlays in standard aspect ratios help you crop the image to fit your canvas.
