So glad with recent update Fresco added symmetry. I mainly use photoshop and procreate to make art and now it has all the tools that those programs have completly. Brush engine is great, rulers are great, and for most artist thats mostly all we need. To me the only thing left are Quality of Life features that some other software have, mainly in UI workflow and gestures options in settings. For Example:

 

1.) Ability to flip canvas non destructivetly like photoshop

2.) Layer QOL simplifications like
a.) selecting layer visibility on the layer itself like photoshop/procreate rather than on a seperate bar.
b.) ability to group using gesture like procreate to speed and simplify workflow. Infact more gesture support setting like procreate in general

c.) Ability to show names and thumbnails. When working with a lot of layers (30-100 plus) which is common on bigger projects, it would nice to see names of the layers Like photoshop/procreate


3.) Snap to Shape - Duration Time for activiation settings like procreate
4.) Snap to Shape- ability to edit the shape or line like procreate after you draw it

5.) A radial menu or quick menu for selecting favorite brushes or settings fast like photoshop on desktop/procreate/clipstudio
6.) Ability to Edit brushes/ make brushes. This might already a feature but I just couldnt figure out how to Edit the texture of a brush that existed already. But it would be great to make the brush editor capable of changing more attributes like photoshop/procreate do.

 

7.) Ability to customize UI , like perhaps the tool bar you'd like less things to appear, or you want undo/redo location on the toolbar, ect. Similar to photoshop. Infinite Painter has this feature as well.

 

8.) Better Desktop user support by adding more hotkeys options.

Anyway, Im sorry for constantly bringing up photoshop and procreate so much but they are great examples of good workflow and QOL features. In terms of the tools Fresco has them all now and feels fun! Honestly I am pretty impressed with Fresco now. I really enjoy the brushes, like the pencil brush. As someone who uses these tools to pay the bills/put food on the table as a concept/vis dev artist Qol settings like this go a long way to save time. With those QOL features I can see it becoming a professional tool for studio artist one day instead of photoshop. Im excited for the next update.

Just want to say also I dont often post on adobe forumns as much because it can feel like your voice is ignored sometimes or moderator just make excuses on why something is the way it is rather than truely hearing your points, but I had to post after how happy I was to see Fresco listening and adding tools one by one that we artist need. Especially with all this AI focused stuff thse days its great to see tools designed for artist. Anyways Thanks for listening. Great job, and again really looking forward to future updates.
