Value tool
#1
I was wondering if any of you use them, and if so do they make the job easier? I'm going nuts trying to get the purples right for my Jenny Beyer quilt, and am toying with the notion of buying and trying one.

You can also use a red plastic report cover (not sure if they come in green). Any red or green that you can see through will work. Even a tail light.
I do find them useful, yes, particularly when planning monochromatic quilts.

The easiest way I've found for working with value is to take a picture with your digital camera, download it and then convert it to black and white. You'll see immediately what your values are. I have the value reader and rarely use it. Another method that has been recommended is to squint your eyes and look at your colors. It kinda works for me but not as well as the computer.
