召集使用iPad的法师!

冰箱研会长

数字魔法流派的同仁们，掌握了绘画奥秘的人啊，
我今天向你们发出一个谦卑的请求，
希望各位能在与iPadOS大地上劣质参考工具的战争中给予我帮助。

相信诸君都清楚参考对我们的魔法意味着什么，
很多人都使用PureRef之类的工具来与其他绘画软件合力施法.
但是，iPadOS上的许多同道却不能感受这样的恩惠。
他们能用的参考工具只不过是一个寒酸的窗口，光是用来临摹就很吃力了！
一个能够能随心所欲使用大量参考的法师，在iPadOS上却被套上了枷锁!

我希望改变这种不公，但我一个人的力量有限。
所以我需要你们的帮助，朋友们!
请向那些有能力永远驱逐这些邪恶参考工具的人施放你们的反馈。

我的反馈是这样的（法术对象是Artstudio Pro）：

Dear LuckyClan:

I hope this email finds all staff well.
This is a feature request.
I believe it is an essential feature that will draw the attention of lots of pro artists.
Artstduio Pro provides a very detailed setting for a customized experience,
I think you might be interested in bringing this app to the next level of professionalism.

The feature I would like to request is "Multiple Reference",
with which you should be able to have several reference images floating outside your canvas.
A vivid example of this feature is from Krita.
This feature, essentially, makes some layers in the project file special,
so that they can be seen outside the canvas.

Now,  I know ASP already have a reference tool, but let me explain.
When you are making artwork, like original artwork which involves tons of designs in different dimensions,
you usually need lots of references to work with.
So one single floating window for reference is not enough,
this provides better UI for tracing or copying (in terms of art practice, not plagiarism ),  
but is not enough for ppl who need to foster concepts for projects.

You might think that this feature is not on any other app that is your current contender.
This is not a common feature for desktop painter programs, too.
However, we have PureRef, a dedicated program for this feature, and plz check out its popularity among artists.
We can use other programs to complement painter programs on PC, but it is impossible on iPad, that is why native support matters.

I use to think it is impossible to implement this on iPadOS, assuming there exists some limitation for this implementation (like there can only be one floating window, etc.).
However, I recently noticed that Fresco supports a similar feature by allowing their image layers to appear outside the canvas.
With clever grouping, one can achieve "Multiple Reference" with it, and that is a joy for me.

I really hope ASP can have this feature, I also believe it would be popular among your target user base.
If you would like to have more information on this subject, feel free to reply to this email.
I understand you all have busy schedules, so no need to reply to this note other than wanting to discuss this topic further.

Sincerely,
K.A
