Reference & Artwork Comparison Tool

Grayscale Comparison: This filter converts both your artwork and the reference photo to black and white, allowing you to focus on light and shadow without color distraction. You will see the distinct tonal values and how they contribute to the overall form and depth of the image. Look for areas in your painting that may be too dark or too light compared to the reference and adjust those values to achieve the desired balance. Saturation Comparison: By enhancing the intensity of colors while keeping the hues unaltered, the saturation filter allows you to evaluate the vibrancy of your artwork in relation to the reference. Note the areas where the color needs to be more vivid or toned down. It helps in ensuring that your painting's colors are as lively or as muted as intended. Luminosity Comparison: This filter highlights the brightness of colors in your artwork and reference without changing the hue. It is particularly beneficial for identifying whether the chromatic brightness levels in your artwork match the reference, especially in brightly lit or shaded regions. Aim for similar luminosity levels to maintain a consistent light source effect across your painting. Benefits of the Visual Reference Guide: Utilizing these filters simplifies the complex process of color correction and balance in painting. By isolating specific visual elements, you can focus your attention on one aspect at a time, making it easier to spot and correct discrepancies. This tool empowers you to achieve a cohesive look in your artwork and ensures that the final product faithfully represents your vision.
