Scale Reference Layers

[DASH.RABBIT]

One of the most inconventient features of reference layers is that you can't move them around freely. I frequently find myself needing to scale up or down a reference so I can get something to the exact size I want, but the inflexibility of reference layers in this program makes that impossible. Alternatively, I could bring something in as a normal layer, but then I lose resolution, rendering it almost useless.

Actually you can move them and resize them but it's a little hidden: Use the move tool to do so (to resize a reference layer, go to the bottom-right corner with the move tool), you can transform multiple cels of the reference layer too: https://www.aseprite.org/docs/move-tool/#move-multiple-cels

There are plans to improve this in future versions: https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1321

Ah, thanks for letting me know! I'll try doing this and see how it works. Admittedly, it does sound clunky though.
