What is Reference Warrior?

Reference Warrior is a reference image viewer and organizer, which will make your day to day creative process easier and more efficient.

The RW Tool allows you to:

Lock the image viewer and make it transparent so you can trace with any other 3D or 2D creative software (like digital tracing paper).
Drag and drop images.
Opens the following image files - gif(+ani), png(+ani), jpg, jpeg, bmp, tif, tiff, tga, psd, pcx, dds, hdr, ico, emf, wmf and more.
Manipulate the reference images by rotating, panning, scaling, setting transparency, adding text, monochrome, invert and copying etc.
Create image collections (.rwc) which will group reference images together and remember their scale and position etc.
You can use the Screen Capture tool (Selection Capture) to create art boards and working references.
Hide tool allows you to toggle your reference images visibility.
Keep on top allows you to make your reference images the priority over other windows open in your workspace and you can lock them to your workspace.
Tiny and task tray modes means you won’t have your workspace cluttered.
You can access all the tools from the RW task tray icon.

Reference Warrior is in constant development so please let us know if you have any feature requests or find any bugs or – info@wilierco.com
