The sketching pencil in Fresco is the best pencil. There are none like in in Photoshop. i tried a lot, but realy they are al minor to the one in Fresco. As I work on one project partly on the Ipad and partly in my Macbook, I need to use the same bushes in both programs. Load brushec from PS to Fresco is possible. But not the other way round. And Thats the way I need to go with this nice sketching pencil. Please remove this obstruction.

    I just want to echo how AMAZING the Fresco Pencil tool is right out of the box. I do a lot drawing across many tools and it is by far my favorite. 

     

    I would REALLY like to have a consistent experience between Fresco and Photoshop in particular. This is the promise of the cloud. Although I realized seperate engines exist and things aren't as straight forward as they might appear. It would be a huge benefit to have this pencil/brush/engine exist in Photoshop. 

     

    Thank you.

      Dear Anshul, this all I know of course…

      And my request is to let us import fresco pencils into photoshop in order to not be limited bij the software in my workflow. Now I have to get back all the time to the iPad for this pencil. The software should be to support and not to limid. I pay so much every year, why is this so difficult to offer. Please put more effort in innovation than in marketing!

      I understand how important it is to have the same pencil experience across both Photoshop and Fresco, especially when you’re working between your iPad and MacBook. While it’s not possible to directly import Fresco’s pencil brush into Photoshop at the moment, I suggest using Fresco for your sketching and then working with the file in Photoshop for additional edits. Both apps support the PSD format, so you can save your files as cloud documents and seamlessly switch between them, making adjustments in Photoshop and continuing your sketching in Fresco.



      This workflow will allow you to use Fresco’s pencil while still incorporating Photoshop for the rest of your project. Hopefully, this will improve your process as you work across both devices! Let me know if you have any other questions.

        Thank you for sharing your perspective—it’s clear how much this feature would mean for your workflow, especially when working across devices. The seamless integration you’re asking for is something many users could benefit from, and your input highlights an important area for improvement.

         

        Currently, Fresco’s brushes, particularly the sketching pencil, leverage a unique engine that isn’t yet compatible with Photoshop. While I understand how frustrating it can be to feel limited by software when you’re looking for efficiency and creativity, your feedback helps us recognize and prioritize areas where innovation is needed.

         

        I’ll make sure to pass along your feedback to the relevant teams, emphasizing the importance of enhancing cross-app compatibility. Adobe values input like yours, as it’s instrumental in shaping the tools you use daily.

         

        If there’s anything else you’d like to share or explore in the meantime, feel free to let me know—I’m here to help!
