Amazing application! I love the neat options available to help organise your images, extremely helpful if you're working with LOTS of pictures. So many options too! I often use the resizing option so that all my pictures are the same size on my reference board.
Opens a little window where you can put your references. It's quite helpful when creating art.
This is the rolls-royce of reference image boards. Can't believe it's free. There's nothing left to wish for, just use it.
Pureref is good to reference images for 3DCG creators.
