Incredible tool for rapidly assessing relative values within a photo. Aspiring artists take heed, however: you still need to do studies without any tools, because you must make *decisions* about what should be light and dark (not just what *is* light and dark). This tool makes it easier to start "seeing" the relationships of light and dark, though, and that's an invaluable starting point.

Bravo! Just what I was looking for! I will add another star if there is cutout that allows me to dynamically compose and crop the image, allowing me save multiple cropped outputs. 3/Sep/19:Revised review: After using it for a while I am really pleased with this app. By dynamically changing the 4 value controls I am able to come up with the best value compositions. I have decided to give that extra star. I have found other apps for cropping and rotating the result.

I'm learning to oil paint. The most essential skill after drawing is discriminating where the value changes are because values define form and form is what identifies one object from another. Notanlzer assists you in defining upwards of 9 values (although 5 or 6 is plenty to 'turn a form'). Once you become accustomed to "seeing" value changes, you’ll not need to rely on this App as much.
