Values at Play vs Gridline

Use "Values at Play" to practice seeing values in art. Practice with one of the images included in the app or import your own image. Values at Play includes: VALUE STUDY Create a Value Study for any image. Choose the number of values to include in the study, and the value study will be created within seconds! View the value study full-screen, and easily toggle between it and the original image. Create "colorized" value studies. IMAGE INSPECTOR Use Image Inspector to find the Denman Ross Value and RGB value of any point on an image. VALUE FINDER Find all the points on an image with the value you've selected. VALUES-TAC-TOE Drag the cross hair to a precise location on the image you've selected. Do you know the value at that point? If so, you're on your way to a "Values-Tac-Toe." If not, keep practicing.

Put a grid over any reference photo and check its values on the same screen. Gridline is a drawing grid for painters, illustrators and art students who work from reference photos. Import a picture, set up the grid, switch to grayscale or a notan when you need to judge values, and paint with your iPhone or iPad beside the easel. ■ Free • Import from your photo library, the camera, the Files app, or paste an image • Try it first with a sample: a public-domain Van Gogh is ready on first launch • Square or rectangular cells, with any number of columns and rows • Diagonals, cell labels, line color and line thickness • Grayscale view, a 2-tone notan, and mirror • Save the gridded image to Photos, print it, or share it • Paint mode: the tools disappear, touches are ignored and the screen stays awake, so the device can stand by your easel. Press and hold to leave • Built for iPad too, with the settings in a side panel • Unlimited projects, each one reopening with the settings you left ■ Gridline Pro (one-time purchase) • Notan in 3, 4 or 5 tones: drag the split points on the value scale and simplify the small details • Fit to canvas: crop to A4, 8×10, 9×12, 11×14 or 16×20 in, or square, in portrait or landscape, and see the real cell size in cm or inches • No ads Pro is a single purchase, not a subscription. You can restore it on other devices signed in with the same Apple Account. ■ About ads The free version shows one banner ad at the bottom of the project list. The editor, where you look at your reference, has no ads. ■ Your photos stay on your device Gridline keeps its own copy of each reference inside the app. There is no account or sign-up, and your images are never uploaded. Nothing leaves the device unless you save, print or share it.
