Infinite Sketch

Artists usually take inspiration from other sources when creating art. Digitalization has offered visual artists new ways to reinvent and enhance their work, and the software on offer gives everyone a chance to try their hand at manifesting their creativity.

Some artists, when drawing something, prefer to have reference material somewhere in the background. Creative process vary from person to person, but a tool like Infinite Sketch can nevertheless be of use to some users. Designed to help artists practice their drawing, this app helps one view each of their images in a given folder, for a set amount of time.

If you're on the lookout for an image viewer, this one can fit the bill in some cases. It's not a traditional image viewer, in the sense that you cannot simply open photos with it, but more so a slideshow app one can use to look through all the images in a given folder.

The way this works is by having the end user add the folder where their images are. The program then recognizes all the stills, and you can begin a photo viewing session in no time.

A highlight feature of the program is the Interval function. Simply put, users can select the amount of time an image is shown in the slideshow. 45-second, as well as 2 and 5-minute intervals, can be selected.

After starting the slideshow, the program will respect your interval setting. The slideshow interface is minimalist, fully drawing attention to the image.

It's worth noting that users can flip, as well as rotate, their images while the slideshow is on. Artists will find the Always on Top function useful, as it brings the slideshow to the forefront.

Infinite Sketch is certainly a modern program, but some users may find its offering to be largely rudimentary. What you see is what you get, and that can be both a good and bad thing.
