about
A quiet aid for training the eye.
Tone zone reduces a photograph to its underlying value structure — the same way a painter squints at a scene to collapse detail and see the big shapes. Upload a reference, and read the values.
who this is for
- Artists— as a cross-reference when working from a photograph, to check value relationships against what the eye reports.
- Students— to build the habit of seeing in values before color, and to make value studies less guesswork.
- Teachers— as a demonstration tool for talking about value structure, squinting, and how images simplify into a handful of zones.
- Anyone training their eye— designers, photographers, hobbyists. If you want to see composition more clearly, this is for you.
