IMAGE IS ALL YOU NEED. Any Image makes images a starting point for creating in Blender. Model from references, add textures, and piece together scenes.
Press Ctrl+Shift+V in Blender (Cmd+Shift+V on macOS) to bring an image from your clipboard straight into the scene. In Sculpt or Texture Paint mode, pasting turns it into a brush texture. In a node editor, it creates an image node for you.
Use Cutout to outline part of an image, give it thickness, and drop it into your scene to try it out. You can also turn images into terrain, reliefs, and panoramic scenes!

✂️ Frame Images: Crop to the area you want, or combine several arranged images into one from the current view.
🖌️ Image Visibility: Hide unwanted parts with a lasso, brush, or polyline, and restore them whenever you need.
📐 Rectify: Pick four corners to straighten a photographed surface for use as a texture.
🎨 Color Match: Pick a reference image to match its colors and brightness. Image textures in materials work too.
Remove backgrounds and upscale images by 2× right on your computer, with no per-image fees. You can process image textures already used in materials, too!
