PureRef - The awesome reference manager program

Hey guys!

Some of you were curious about the reference program I was telling Zac about last class so here it is:

https://pureref.com/

(if you don't want to pay for it, just set the custom payment option to $0, you can still download)

This program helps you keep your references organized so you don't have to make a collage file in photoshop. Just click and drag pictures from either your reference folders on your computer or straight from the internet (Google, Pinterest, etc)



Some helpful hotkeys for you that really make this program awesome:
PC = Ctrl / alt  Mac = cmd / option


Arrange all photos into a nice, optimized grid: Ctrl + P (can be used multiple times for different options, can also be used on a specific selection of your reference if you're grouping your photos)

Crop canvas to size of photo grid: Ctrl + O

Have the Pureref window always on top: Ctrl + Shift + A (press again to turn off)

Make height of all selected photos the same: Ctrl + Alt + Left

Make width of all selected photos the same: Ctrl + Alt + Right

Delete image: Delete

Export all images: Ctrl + Alt + I (this one is awesome, you can save all the photos you found at once in a specified folder, they all save as PNGs)

You can also save the Pureref file without exporting anything, and when you open it, all the references will be as you left them.



They have all the hotkeys to check out here:https://www.pureref.com/support.php#keybindings or you can right-click the program window and change them to whatever you like in the settings!

Enjoy~~~
