Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

It's extremely frustrating downloading images for drawing references. You have to find the right size via google lens (then you can click on reverse image search) and then find somewhere to dump it. Usually a decent image reference has a very big file size. I would like to be able to just open an image in a new tab and then click a button to put it in PiP mode. Preferably without a big toolbar surrounding it, just like your average video PiP viewer.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Some kind of feature that allows you to click on an image in your browser and pop it out. There is no toolbar encapsulating the image, but you can resize by dragging the corner. When you hover over the image, it dims and an X appears in the right hand corner so that you can close out of the image.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

I've used your PiP image viewer, it's still just a major pain getting and using the references. I think artists would majorly appreciate not having to download all of these giant images. Also, the toolbar on the current PiP takes up a lot of space.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I'm just keeping it simple. Sure, maybe there could be a feature to zoom inside the PiP on particular features of the image, but this is the basic idea.

Let me add:

The process of getting a single image reference goes like this.

  1. Find the image you want to use as a reference
  2. Click "search with google lens" so that you can find the right size (this opens a new tab)
  3. Since google lens is useless, you have to scroll to the bottom of the page and click "try reverse image search" (this opens a second tab)
  4. Click the image size you want to look at (small, medium, large) (this takes you to a page with various size versions of the image)
  5. Click through various different versions, hope the one you're looking at actually exists (sometimes they don't despite purporting to have a large resolution)
  6. Right click "open in a new tab" (opens a third tab)
  7. Download the image, find somewhere to put it without creating a mess. Often the file size will be very large
  8. Close out of all of the tabs you don't need anymore
  9. Click the arrow on the downloaded file at the bottom of the browser and click "open file location"
  10. Right click the image again and then click "open with" find "quick image viewer" unless you have set the viewer to your default, in which case, just double click on it
  11. Set the image to picture in picture mode

Artists need to look at a lot of image references. This is a major pain and waste of time, and it's part of the reason why artists so often don't bother using references (which is a bad habit). There's just no simple way to overlay a picture on their screen

In my proposal, the process would go like this

  1. Find the image you want to use
  2. Right click on it, click "pop out"

Much simpler. I can now use references on the fly
