Question

Brushes taking up too much space

I use fresco on my 32 gb 7th gen ipad. I downloaded the Kyle brushes from adobes website and the total of the files was about 1.3 gigabytes. I then imported them to fresco and now fesco is taking up 9 gigabytes, almost all of which is brushes. It was originally at about .5 gigabytes before the brushes. Is that normal? If so is there a way to free up space without getting rid of the brushes?

    I am experiencing a similar problem. I am importing brushes from an uncompressed file. The file I have the brushes in on my laptop is 7GB. I had to upload this to my google drive in order to import the brushes into Adobe Fresco on my iPad Pro (3rd gen). I got halfway through the file and now my iPad says Fresco is taking up 40GB of space! What is happening??

    Is that without creating any documents?
    For me the App Size is 596.8MB
    Documents & Data is 14.03GB
    I'm not sure which part of that split Kyles brushes would be added to though.
    If the brushes go into data then it does make sense that they have expanded since the original 1.3gb file was probably compressed to speed up the download process.
    I don't think there are solutions to the space used up by the brushes, other than deciding which ones you will never use and removing them.
