PhotoAny
Drawing reference image tool for Windows
Artists often need reference images visible while drawing. PhotoAny helps by floating local reference images on top of the Windows desktop, letting you adjust opacity and scale, arrange multiple references with one click, and keep useful visual materials in a local image asset library.
How PhotoAny helps
You can float references on the desktop, resize them, make them semi-transparent, and arrange multiple images without turning your drawing app into a cluttered workspace.
How it differs from a normal image viewer
A normal viewer is mainly for opening pictures. PhotoAny is built for reference workflows that need persistent floating images and local organization.
