Pasting a clipboard image as reference
tip

With Apple’s Handoff enabled, you can copy on macOS and paste into Resprite on iOS.

Tips​

  • Multiple reference images can coexist in the same sprite bundle.
  • References stay embedded in the Resprite bundle. Sharing the bundle includes the linked images.
  • Closing a reference window deletes it from the bundle.

Sample colours from references​

Select the Eyedropper tool and drag across the reference image to pick a colour. While the Eyedropper is active, the reference is locked in place to prevent accidental movement.

tip

Long-pressing on a reference also triggers colour pickup.
