Thanks for your feedback, Charlene! I agree that you should never rely on the information directly from these tools, but I’ve found it helpful to approach value relationships from multiple angles. Squinting, indirect looking, and these other tools are all ways for me to explore value relationships to see if it opens up new ways for thinking about the subject.

Determining and mastering value is THE most important aspect of making art. I can’t believe you are promoting a device that LIES about value! Your red ‘color evaluator’ will tell you that green is black; your green one will tell you that red is black. Both will screw up the relative value determination of any scene with red or green in it. Why don’t you sell a neutral gray ‘evaluator’ that would darken all colors equally and give you a reliable reading? Or just squint your eyes.

It allows you to get a B&w of your jpg with up to 9 values.

Hi Dwight!
This still image was taken from a video we shot with Aaron Schuerr. If I remember correctly, he said this was one of the products made by the Plein Air painter, Joshua Been: https://www.prolificpainter.com/shop/daytripper-starter-package/. I’ve noticed that some of the products on the site are’t displaying properly, but I imagine he’ll be able to help you out if you shoot him an email.

It’s exactly what I was looking for.
