PureRef 2.1 Optimizes Performance and Canvas Management for Visual References 🚀

Published on February 19, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

PureRef version 2.1, a tool for organizing visual reference boards, focuses on performance and usability adjustments. This update prioritizes smoothness in handling large collections of images, introduces changes in multi-canvas management, and refines interface elements. The goal is to provide a more stable working experience for artists and designers.

An artist manipulates a digital canvas with multiple reference images, showing an optimized and fluid interface.

Improvements in Rendering and Memory Management for Complex Canvases ⚙️

The technical development addresses bottlenecks in image rendering and RAM memory management. Optimizations were implemented in the graphics pipeline to reduce lag when moving or scaling many images simultaneously. Canvas management now handles resource loading and unloading more efficiently, allowing switching between heavy projects with less impact on system resource consumption.

Farewell to Single Canvas Chaos: Now Your Mess Can Be Multiple 😅

With the new canvas management, the promise is clear: you're no longer limited to a single monumental collage of images where nothing can be found. Now you can organize your chaos into several separate canvases, switching from one mess to another with just a click. It's like having multiple messy rooms instead of one, an advancement that will undoubtedly make losing a specific reference a more structured and organized experience.
