More time creating. Less time preparing. Refloom helps artists, painters, tattoo artists and illustrators turn their own reference photos into a clear starting point for their work. From portraits to still lifes: study values, simplify colors and create useful outlines. FROM REFERENCE TO WORKING GUIDE • Break your photo into clear areas of light and shadow. • Simplify colors into readable shapes. • Create outlines for drawing, tracing and stencil preparation. • Adjust your study to explore shapes, contrast and detail. EXPLORE COLOR AND MIXING Explore paint mixes, build a palette and practise recognizing color differences with hints. Use mixing suggestions as a starting point and refine them with your own paints. PRINT AT THE SIZE YOU NEED Print your studies or outlines to size, including across multiple pages. Use the result as a drawing aid, for stencil preparation or as a reference beside your painting. FOR YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS Prepare a tattoo, study the light and shadow in a portrait or simplify the shapes of a still life. You decide the interpretation and the final result. Refloom helps make the preparation clearer. Available in English, Dutch and Spanish. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4 — 2026-09-25 A smoother studio, from photo to print. • Consistent loading feedback across Colorzones, Values, Trace, mixing and print. Clearer messages show when a study is being updated and help you retry if something goes wrong. • More responsive adjustments. Background processing prioritizes your latest settings and stops work that is no longer needed. • Smarter image processing. Refloom reuses prepared image data when you adjust your study, while preserving its colors and details. • More reliable poster exports. Pages are processed individually to reduce memory use, with clear progress and protection against duplicate exports. • Improved error handling when saving and sharing files. • General cleanup and stability improvements, including the fix for the Trace black-point slider at its maximum setting. Available in English, Dutch and Spanish. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-21 Clearer mixing hints and more consistent color studies. • Start mixing lessons with hue, then adjust brightness and saturation. • Open a hint before answering. See your current value, the target value and how much to adjust. Hints update as you mix. • The detail slider now simplifies color zones consistently as you move toward More Abstract. Releasing the slider keeps the same result. • Improved stability when switching quickly between detail levels. Mixing lessons use screen colors. Paint estimates remain starting points to test with your own paints. ### 1.3 — 2026-09-20 See the color. Build the mix. - Learn to mix, step by step.
