About NotanIzer

Nōtan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark elements next to the other in the composition of art and imagery. The Yin Yang symbol is an example of this design philosophy. The use of Nōtan in art composition is a powerful tool to help the artist identify the light and dark portions of the image they want to incorporate into their project. NotanIzer does this in 3 ways. The first function simply divides the image at 50% of bright/dark. You can then use the slider to move that line to enhance detail that may otherwise be obscured. The second function displays the image in a grayscale color palette so the artist can focus on the structure and design of the image. The third is a 3 level version. Breaks down your image into 3 adjustable levels of brightness. The fourth is a 4 level version just like the 3 level. And finally there is the new Levels. Breaks it down into even levels from 3 to 10. And of course, share your image in many ways. Any artist will benefit from seeing their work in a different light. NotanIzer is that light. PLEASE NOTE: Make sure there is at least 20mb of memory available on your device as making adjustments can be memory intensive.

What NotanIzer Is Used For

NotanIzer appears to be a phone app for artists and designers who want to study an image’s light and dark structure. Based on the metadata, it is centered on the Japanese Notan concept, which helps users evaluate contrast and composition by separating bright and dark areas in different ways. This makes it useful when sketching, planning a painting, refining illustration ideas, or checking whether key shapes still read clearly after simplifying an image.

The app seems to offer several viewing modes for this kind of analysis, including a simple two-tone split, grayscale viewing, 3-level and 4-level brightness breakdowns, and a more adjustable levels mode. That suggests it may be used as a visual aid rather than a full editing suite. The listed permissions, such as access to storage and camera, fit an app that can open, process, and share images from the device, while the memory note indicates it may work best on phones with enough available resources.

Common uses

Analyze the balance of light and dark areas in reference images.
Simplify an image into grayscale or tone levels for composition study.
Adjust brightness thresholds to reveal shapes that may be harder to see.
Use it as a visual reference tool while planning art or design work.
Share processed images with others for feedback or review.
Capture or import images from device storage for tone analysis.
