Outlines help you see the boundaries between different value masses more clearly. This makes it easier to understand the shapes in your composition and plan how to paint them.
How it works
When enabled, the app draws lines around each value mass, creating a clear boundary between different values. Toggle outlines on and off to compare how the shapes read with and without these visual separators.
Why it's useful
Outlines help you:
- See exactly where one value mass ends and another begins
- Understand the underlying shapes in your composition
- Plan painting approach by seeing distinct shapes to fill
- Create clearer value studies for reference
Tips for use
Use outlines when planning a painting to see the individual shapes you'll need to paint. Turn them off to see how the values work together without artificial boundaries—both views teach different lessons.
