Default Gray Scale/Value Finder with an Image

First I opened an image in ELEMENTS and resized it to 9 X 6 at 66%
Next I opened an image of the 10 TONE VALUE FINDER and resized to the same size as the image.

Next I clicked on the blue bar of the image and then opened up the QUICK FIX Box in the menus
I then did some minor work with the tools in the that. During this process I clicked on the blue bar of the VALUE FINDER. By doing that, I was able to PIGGY BACK my VALUE FINDER over any value or color in the image to any tone in the VALUE FINDER.

Doing this I was able to match the brightness of the colour in the image to the brightness of the tone on the VALUE FINDER. By using the ROTATE 180 DEGREE TOOL, I was able to bring any tone on the VALUE FINDER over any colour or tone in the image and match them very accuratly.

The image with this note was done using the tone and colour matching. Even with the Sister's habit, I was able to give the dark side a VALLUE 2 and the BRIGHTER SIDE VALUE 3. The tree leaves were around VALUE 5 in the shade and VALUE 6 in the sun.

The GRAY SCALE/VALUE FINDER was scanned into the P C
