I have been toying with similar apps, but never got around to polishing it like this. Great work!

A few things I would have liked to build, if I had infinite time:

- A "tone trainer" app, where you can gamify your ability to recognize tonal values in photos.

- An app that lets you take a picture of your drawing or painting in progress, and then highlights where you are off in the reference image.

These are really great features but they are not easy to implement. Sometimes I take a photo of my painting and convert to greyscale to compare with the reference tonal values. Automating this process will be very useful. Thanks for sharing this.
