Good references get lost in open tabs and screenshots. In References, you look in one place and keep everything in one place.
Search
Search by subject, the way you would describe it. Or by color. Type blue, and the grid changes.
Filters
The filters stay tucked away until you need them: type, category, format and color. Pick horizontal, for example. What you filtered stays in view, and one click takes it off.
Credit
Open an image. The credit is always in view, so you know whose work you are looking at.

Save
