Hello everybody!

Here's the new way of working with your reference images in Photoshop - MagicRefs panel! Hope you'll like it! Based on feedback and requests from concept artists all over the world I collected during past years. 
As always uses my MagicPicker's framework so it supports pre-subscription Photoshops CS5/CS6 as long as new ones CC2015 up to CC2019 and higher!

Brief list of features includes:
– Deep integration with Photoshop – native panel. Always there in the UI when you need it
– Drag’n’drop folders – directly from Windows Explorer or Mac Finder
– Add images from web/URL
– View all images at once in a stream with zoom
even more!


 




You can see the video with all features here

More features include:
– Colored groups
– Zoom, flip and edit selected image, use eyedropper
– Animated GIF Video support! With frame-by-frame control
– Link sets of images to PSD documents
– Keep all data in the cloud of your choice
– Photoshop CS5, CS6, CC, CC2014, CC2015, CC2017, CC2018, CC2019+ support


Please contact me if you have any suggestions or questions, I'm always open to implementing new stuff since I made MagicPicker 10 years ago.

    NEW IN v1.1:
    - NEW FEATURE! Insert images from the panel into Photoshop document using new "Insert into document" button
    - Optimized display of the images when there are 1000 assets and more
    - Improved image naming on Windows
    - Fixed linking images with Photoshop documents on CS5 and CS6
    - Fixed random problem with scrolling of large images when zooming in
    - Fixed UI behavior in various scenarios

    Looks cool, I've used PureRefs for a while now and this PS add-on appears to be of a similar calibre, nicely done.

    Cheers.
