In this video I show a number of ways to refer to and include reference images in #OpenToonz and #Tahoma2D.
Contents:
00:00 Reference
00:48 Finding reference
01:29 View references in explorer, your default image viewer or PureRef
02:35 View reference using the color model
03:56 Drop reference directly into the viewer
07:17 Copy/paste images into Tahoma2D
10:09 Ending
Tip: Windows Key + Shift + S to use the snipping tool
Tip #2: (Thanks Ferryn) Simply right click on an image in a Google image search and choose 'Copy Image', then paste it into Tahoma2D.
The colour model in detail: youtu.be/7qYQ_rRq8hA
