In Photoshop I usually change a picture into greyscale now to see relative values more easily.

Before Photoshop, I put a red acetate "report cover" (from Staples) over a color photo to "eliminate" color and "see" value.

Particularly since I use the grisaille method of underpainting, being able to see values easily is important for me.
