KRESKA.art FAQ
How does the reference image feature work?
A peek button displays the reference image on top of the drawing at full opacity while it is pressed. An opacity slider can adjust the reference at any time, and an optional traditional preview panel can keep the reference visible on screen.
Can the app pick colors from a reference image?
Yes. When the auto-color feature is enabled on a brush, it picks colors from the reference image while the user draws. Pressing and moving toward the reference with the peek button also activates a color picker.
