# Reference images

Reference images are different from the [reference layer](/timeline-and-layers/layer-types.md#reference-layer). Instead of being a layer on the canvas, reference images are floating windows within Pixquare workspace, but it has nothing to do with the canvas.

To turn on reference images, go to Settings > Features > Reference images.

<figure><img src="/files/cj8XzRJHt4RRB23QtNMN" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Active reference images.&#x20;
2. Imported images. We can import as many images as we want and only display a few of them
3. Edit button - use this to remove imported images
4. Add button - We can import images from either Files or Photos.

To pick colors from the reference image, we can long-press + drag on the image.

{% hint style="info" %}
If we tap on the active images, a toolbar will show up with the minimize button and we can drag the bar to re-position the image.
{% endhint %}
