      Hello. I'm also having the same issue when I click "Add" brushes. It stays on "Adding in progress" and doesn't go anywhere. I just installed Fresco, so it's up to date. I'm using Windows 11. Can you help me?

        Why does my Fresco say "adding in progress" when I am trying to download the brushes and it does not go anywhere?

         None of these brushes activate even though they show in manage pixel brushes. Deleted and reinstalled app. Now I only have one brush, so Fresco is largely useless as a creative device. Spent better part of a day troubleshooting with no success.

        Hi @jaaksbus,

         

        Thanks for reaching out. I understand how frustrating it must be to lose access to your brushes, especially after spending so much time troubleshooting. Let’s try to get this sorted out together.

        Since you mentioned reinstalling the app, you might now be on version 6.4.1 (iOS) or 5.5.5 (Windows). Could you please confirm which device make and model you’re using (e.g., iPad Pro 11”, Surface Pro, etc.)?

         

        Also, how much storage does your device currently have? Lastly, could you share a short screen recording of what’s happening when you try to select or activate the brushes? That’ll help us better understand what’s happening and offer more specific guidance.

         

        I'm looking forward to hearing back from you. We’re here to help!

         

        Best,

        Anshul Saini

        i'm someone else but i'm having the same issue. I'm on version 5.5.5 on a HP spectre x360. I have 537GB free. if you want a screen recording I can make one but I think a screenshot provides just as much information. This is as far as I can get. As you can see it says 'adding in progress...' but it does not matter how long I wait nothing happens. 

        I have also tried downloading the brushes from the adobe Photoshop site and importing them that way but that did not work either.

          Too bad the brush engine sucks compared to sketch. So all brushes look terrible. Non dynamic flat and lifeless.

           

          making it more accessible wont help when it looks cheap and bad.

           

          bring back sketch.

            There are ways to adjust brush settings to your liking. Give it a try and see if you like them better and be sure to save the setting or create a new version of the brush with your preferred settings but with a new name.

            Always when I try to open a cardboard in Fresco, it shuts down and disappears. New installation doesn't help. What to do? I'd like to work with the thousands of brushes.

              Uninstall, reboot, reinstall. If that doesn't work maybe a reset of the device will work but back up everything first! Consider if your device is up to date or new enough to handle the software too.

                You could try uninstalling the older version, reboot, then reinstall the newer version. This might clear it up because I see this symmetry option after installing so it should be visible for you also. Make sure you are looking in the right location for it. Go into their help information for this information or search it on Google.
