Adobe Fresco Reviews

Well firstly, I'd like to say I used to be a big fan of painting on Photoshop (yes even over tools like Procreate, PaintTool SAI, Krita, etc). So, when I got to know about Fresco, Adobe already grabbed my attention.

What I really love about Fresco is:

-A familiar interface that is very much similar to other Adobe products.

- Integration with Adobe softwares

- The live paint brushes in Fresco are excellent

- No connection with iPad size or model- in fact you can use it on windows devices too

- Worthwile if you have an adobe creative cloud subscription

.great for graphic designers, it's user-friendly

could have more trace options would be helpful

plugins

Very easy to use with intuitive interface. Works fantastically with the Apple Pencil. Tracing photos is easy as can be. Very easy to make patterns quickly. The animation is very easy to do and works great. Easily able to share documents and export different formats for different uses. Many excellent and useful brushes. Working on the iPad is really great. The multiple layers are very easy to use and make for excellent results. the history remembers the work you do and makes it easy to back up if you go down the wrong path. Great access to external sources.

Some tasks are quite complicated. The iPhone version is not that useful. The files can get quite large. It's quite easy to accidently select the wrong brush when drawing quickly. Occasionally it can undo by accident and then not remember what was done.

Need a mobile drawing application that works on iPad and iPhone. Fresco works really fantastically. It does require an internet connection. I need something to trace photos for use in various tasks. Fresco layers make this so simple. The vector brushes are great for the purpose. I need a drawing application that is compatible with Apple Pencil. Fresco works excellently with he Pencil. I need something to make simple hand-drawn animations. Fresco does a great job and exports as animated GIFs.

I love that Adobe Fresco gives pretty realistic brush options - everything from wet mediums on textured canvas to your traditional brush pen for simple lettering. There are tons of options and ways to customize the tools to your liking, which I enjoy because it gives my creations a very recognizable feel.

Some of the tools take a bit to figure out and explore, like any other design software. It's a very simple user interface so you have to know what the symbols on each button are for time efficiency. That said, there's not nearly as many functionalities as Illustrator so it's a pretty quick learning curve in my opinion.

Make sure you have a stylus pen - a lot of the brushes have pressure sensitivity that you can enable which is well worth the purchase of a pen.

Adobe Fresco allows me to create less technical artwork that's still amazing quality and resolution for business or personal use. I originally wanted to try Procreate on ipads, but they don't have a version for Windows at this point. Fresco definitely fills that need so I don't have to spend a bunch on an ipad just for one program haha.

The vector brush option definitely rates this app higher than similar products like procreate. The ability to seamlessly move our sketches into AI from Fresco without losing details and quality makes this product stand out.

The brushes are a bit more limited than other program options. I wish there were more controls on specifically the vector brushes for shape and smoothing curves.

In other drawing apps, we would have to save out a high resolution image and then convert to vector in Illustrator, sometimes losing details. Fresco solves this problem with a vector brush option.

.It allows to use water color for the paintings which other platforms and softwares does not allow

You can't edit photos like photoshop, otherwise it's fine

Replacing real canvas painting, so that

My favorite feature is that you can open a fresco document in photoshop and it preserves the layers.

There is not a broad enough selection of brushes. Also you can only use some features with certain types of brushes.

I initially was using adobe sketch to do illustrations and then I would have to edit in photoshop as a flat image. Now I can go in and edit each individual layer in photoshop by using fresco.

I like the brush collection. The pencil and watercolor brushes are specifically impressive. You don't need to go in and tweak the curve or tilt in settings. They are very nice comapred to other apps.

I do not like that this is a subscription based app. I wish it was a one time payment like Procreate rather than monthly, it is honestly not worth more than Procreate. I think it is inclued in the Creative Cloud membership though.

Adobe Fresco offers a huge catalog of brushes, offering versatility between vector and raster brushes. This is a huge advantage compared to other apps with limitations.

I don't have to clean paint brushes, workspaces, or anything of the sort. I can paint and doodle ideas before going in and creating them on a natural canvas. I can easily create digital paintings as well. I was looking for something to replace Photoshop as my painting and drawing app, which is not entirely made for drawing. The brushes, the physics of ink and paint, everything are excellent points.

Without a Stylus, this is not an experience to like. I recommend having either a tablet with a stylus or a computer with a drawing tablet. Using your finger or mouse doesn't yield the same result.

I use Fresco to doodle and paint ideas before committing them to canvas. I've also used it for digital painting as well as for prints. It's just made me save a lot of money because canvas and paint are not inexpensive at all.
