The background toggle lets you switch between different background colors (white, black, or gray) to see how your image looks against different surroundings. This affects how you perceive the values in your image.
How it works
Choose from white, black, or neutral gray backgrounds. The background color can dramatically affect how light or dark your image appears due to simultaneous contrast.
Why it's useful
Changing backgrounds helps you:
- See how context affects value perception
- Find the background that gives the best contrast for your image
- Understand simultaneous contrast principles
- Choose the right background for presenting your artwork
Tips for use
Try viewing the same image on white, gray, and black backgrounds. You'll notice that the same values can appear lighter or darker depending on their surroundings—an important lesson in value relativity.
