Canvas size limits updates?

I can find several years old discussions on this subject, but nothing current.

 

Is there any documentation on the updated software/hardware combo size canvas limts? I know several years ago it seemed to be 8k x 8k. And all those responses where answers to people with specific configurations.

 

What I'd like to find is a guide to maximize the capabiltiy BEFORE I buy it. Such as "the maximum canvas size X x X and it requires, X software version running on X system with X Ram." Much like some of the other Adobe software has.

 

I'd hate to purchase an updated system just to see if it supports a larger canvas or not.

 

Thank you for any help.

Hello @jblo,

 

Thanks for reaching out. The allowable document size for Live Brushes content is determined by processing power but also by the device's ability to allocate memory: Devices with 4GB RAM (and up) can create 8K (8192x8192px) documents, and less than 4GB devices are limited to 4K (4096x4096px) documents. 

 

For the 2018 and earlier iPads, the maximum document size for Live Brushes is 4K. So if you’re using a 2017 or 2018 iPad or a first-generation (12.9 or 9.7) iPad Pro, Live Brushes will be disabled in drawings with a width or height greater than 4096px.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

    I saw that limitation a lot when I briefly used a Wacom MobileStudio Pro. Not so much on my iPad Pro.though I'd love to be able to do larger,pages at a higher DPI
