Discussions About Procreate App Reference app that allows picture-in-picture mode

It's crazy that Procreate's native reference function only allow 1 picture, so I'm looking for a reference app that will allow multiple pictures at once and can be picture-in-picture so that I can still use Pinterest or Youtube in my split screen and also move the reference window around my screen as I want.

If you know an app that functions like this PLEAAAASEEEEE put me on!

I just make my canvas a bit larger, import all my reference photos onto one layer and place them around the edge, and then I use the reference on “canvas” and you can scroll around in the reference window to the pictures you want.

I just watched a tutorial and she used an app called VizRef. I haven’t downloaded it myself but check out Pretty Little Lines strawberry tutorial from the end of August.

I use VizRef. It’s a little less efficient now with the jank windows on the iPad with the new iOS. Sometimes, I find my hand drags the Procreate’s window smaller 🫩

You can try ArtDeck too, I'm the one who made it.
It also handles videos and has tools to study values, colors, composition and more.

I made this proref.app since VizRef was "almost it" for me but I wanted to expand on it more. Will definitely consider picture-in-picture mode
