Storing Lightbox reference position/scale [Solved]

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m using lightbox as reference for head modelling. I have several camera angles photos and swap between them at same time that I rotate the model.

But they don’t remember size or position. When swapping between different camera angles of a face in lightbox I need to resize and position them each time.

Is there any way to store the size and position of all images of a lightbox?. The idea is that we swapping between them they will remember it and I don’t need to keep repeating the same actions.

Double clicking makes the images to align in a fixed standard position. This could be a compromised solution but it is always aligned to the left of the screen and not in the center.

LightBox isn’t really meant to do that. There are a couple of other possibilities.

Saving the “Spotlight” (Texture menu > ‘Save Spotlight’ button) will remember the sizes and positions of the textures. Then you can load the Spotlight (Texture menu > 'Load Spotlight" button) whenever you want.

You might consider using the Grids for your reference images. They are a better way of matching the image to the model view. And if you like having images on screen to refer to you can use SpotLight as well. See here:
