#### Infinite artist reference canvas, color swatch & value study board

Reference Canvas Board is a lightweight desktop visual moodboard, color study,
and tonal value workspace built for digital illustrators, concept artists, and designers.
An independent Linux desktop alternative to PureRef for organizing artist reference
boards, performing tonal value checks, and exporting portable project archives.

Key Features:

* Infinite Reference Canvas: Pan and zoom smoothly across an unlimited studio canvas
  containing reference image cards and sticky text notes with move, scale, rotate,
  horizontal/vertical mirror flip, non-destructive grayscale value check, tidy
  auto-pack and auto-grid arrangers, and an always-on-top window pin.
* Eyedropper Color Swatch & Value Histogram: Sample real pixel colors in HEX, RGB,
  HSV, and relative luminance percentage or extract dominant palettes directly from
  reference images alongside a 256-bin luminance histogram, and export to GIMP
  Palette (.gpl), CSS custom properties, or JSON.
* Portable .rcb Archive & Sheet Exporter: Save and reload self-contained .rcb ZIP
  archives embedding all transforms, sticky notes, palettes, and source images, and
  render full-board high-resolution PNG posters and PDF sheets.
