Very handy and straight to the point!

Usually when I click on a "things you didn't knew" on any known software I expect to get no more than 1-2 actually unknown tricks. But this video just proved that I knew little of pureref's features. Kinda underestimated it. This is a game changer now.
Thank you so much! You explained it clearly! Been using PureRef for months and barely care about the shortcut keys. Now I'm gonna use the way you show!
thankyou so much! i was use pureref with very standard mode, just drag n drop and manually scale and position, but until i see this video, it can make me more productive and effective to organize my reference. thanks for making this video!
Excellent. Can you make it no always on top? If so, a good way to use the ref for the face is match the size to your sculpt, then send it to behind ZBrush and adjust the visibility of Zbrush. I do this all the time on portraits, but it’s hard to get the size right.
Hi could you please tell me how to delete notes? I can't get them deleted and I can't figure out how to ungroup them from an image either. PLEASE anyone help!
Really like this video but when I go into overlay mode I cannot seem to scale the whole board or move it, its seems like I can onlyscale signle images etc Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please?
I copied and pasted many web pics, but before I could save them I pressed Ctrl + X I thought I could cut a single image but this short cut in PureRef is to close the App. So I lost everything I did. Is thera a way to recover those pics?
Hello! I love this video, it's been such a great help, but I am still running into one major issue: No matter what I do, once I click on my application, the pureref window disappears, as would happen with any other application or program. Is it possible for me to have clip studio paint fullscreen but also have pureref open at the same time?
Thank you Arved! Great Tutorial! Because you talked about the color picker... could you make a tutorial "3" on ACES Workflow and color picking properly? I find myself having a lot of trouble with color picking in Maya.. I searched Docs, watched some Autodesk Videos but I don´t get it.. So if I have a logo and I want to color pick the exact corporate color, how do I do that properly? If I have a RGB Code, where to type in? In Display Space I guess.. Because these Values are already Tonemapped to sRGB, right? But anyways, they render incorrect.. and the Values exceed (HS) V 1.0 when I switch back to Rendering Space in the Color picker. I noticed in Rendering when shaders where bright like with emission turned on.. So I checked the V Value in the Color Picker and they shouldn´t translate above V 1.0, right?
I was looking for something else but happy to have found your tips and tricks that are awesome. However I cant find how to disable the transparency feature in pure ref. My images are floating in space over my other windows. There is just a slight little pixel edge to indicate the bounds of pure ref.
Have you found Waldo yet? Comment the timecode and get pinned!
0:52 Great Ester egg! Thanks a lot for the video, Arvid!
Very handy and straight to the point! Only missed Ctrl+Alt+G to greyscale, which is super useful!
👇RECAP for handy copy+paste:
Organizing grid images:
· hold (left click) and drag -> moves the selected image(s)
· hold (shift+space) and drag -> snaps selected image(s) to near image
· space bar -> zooms camera in/out to fit the selected image(s)
· left or right arrow -> centers camera to next/previous image
· ctrl+A -> selects all images on the grid
· ctrl+alt+up arrow -> re-sizes selected image(s) to the same size (proportional transform)
· ctrl+P -> re-arranges image grid to mosaic display
Individual image transformation:
· hold (ctrl+click) and drag -> rotates the selected image
· hold (alt+shift+click) and drag -> flips the selected image towards the drag direction (works with both axis)
· ctrl+shift+T -> resets the transform of the selected image
Individual image crop:
· hold (C+left click) and drag -> crops the selected image to dragged area
· hold (V+left click) and drag -> moves the image inside the cropped area
· hold (shift+V+left click) and drag -> resizes the image inside the cropped area
· ctrl+shift+C -> resets the crop of the selected image
Window management:
· hold (right click) and drag -> moves the camera (doesn't moves the images)
· ctrl+shift+A -> activates always-on-top mode
· ctrl+Y -> activates overlay mode (background grid becomes invisible)
· ctrl+T -> activates transparent-to-mouse mode (mouse will ignore the images/window)
Utility extras:
· S+left click -> to color pick (copies the hexcode)
· ctrl+alt+G -> activates grey-scale mode
Cheers! 🙌
Bless you, good sir!
You just saved me some searching and note-taking time. Thank you!

So far the best video for pureref 👍👌🏼
Thank you much Arvid! This is really helpfull! Ive been using pureref for a while now but I didnt know a tenth of what you showed in this video.
Thank you so much! You explained it clearly! Been using PureRef for months and barely care about the shortcut keys. Now I'm gonna use the way you show!
This was super helpful and will definitely improve my work flow! Thanks! 😊
This tutorial is so good, right on the point, thanks for shareing these with us !
3 years late to this video the transparent mouse was a life saver tyvm.
Cool tutorial, Overlay mode and Opacity adjusment are axactly what i did NOT know PureRef can do. Thank you for the video
yeah these are both my favorites :)
This program is *way* more powerful than I imagined.
thankyou so much! i was use pureref with very standard mode, just drag n drop and manually scale and position, but until i see this video, it can make me more productive and effective to organize my reference. thanks for making this video!
PR is really fun to use, I use it already for 2 year
Great video for pureref. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Good lord, how did I miss this?!?! Thanks
Thanks, helped a lot.

this program is so powerful. but please! pleaseeeee add some interface option for those who are not able to convert into a shorcut ninja!!!
Thanks very much. This is helpful.
LOVe THIS TUTORIAL!! Thank you for putting it together!!
Incredibly helpful! Hero.

Magic!
Very nice info.. Indeed a sorcery
it's cool! Thank you!
is there something wrong with pure ref or it has bugs with opera browser mine pure ref dont find hig res images. not tries either. directly dragndrops
small tip, if you click the image in google and then drag the bigger image, all the other junk doesn't come with it.
Hi could you please tell me how to delete notes? I can't get them deleted and I can't figure out how to ungroup them from an image either. PLEASE anyone help!
Can pure ref do grids?
I’m learning zbrush in split screen. Like to add grids on both screens.
Hi! Which app is that showing the keyboard and mouse actions on screen??
Hello everyone just a new user of pure ref i kindly need to know if there is a merge or sealing of the pictures command keys to pure ref?
👍👍
Super, thx man !!!
can i export the whole layout as an image ? because i want to create a moodboard and paste it in a PDF
Win Shift S
Really like this video but when I go into overlay mode I cannot seem to scale the whole board or move it, its seems like I can onlyscale signle images etc
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please?
it might be cus you only selected one image when you made pureref transparent? idk
is there an "unstack" function? something that undoes the stack to get back to its previous configuration? other than repacking
Thank you 🙏
Nice video 🧡
Mister Arvid please we humbly need a tutorial of making a flamethrower using maya bifrost, please.
i'm not really into bifrost but @TheMayaGuy is :)
Nice one!
nice! thanks!
I copied and pasted many web pics, but before I could save them I pressed Ctrl + X I thought I could cut a single image but this short cut in PureRef is to close the App.
So I lost everything I did. Is thera a way to recover those pics?
If you didn’t save before, it’s gone - it gave a warning though, are you sure you want to close
thanks brother

Yeah it should work like 👍
@@arvidurs How do I do so? I keep having to make them both minimized floating windows.
@@obara7366 there is a mode always on top option which I have on

Hey! Thanks for the great idea! Color picking is definitely a topic which is not document and covered well. also every dcc thinks of this differently
How did you add text.. BTW great tutorial
it's note - shortcut ctrl n I think
Dude, keep your hands still...
