Hi

I recently purchase a new iPad Pro 13” and a new model Apple Pencil Pro to go with it. I bought both to use with Adobe Fresco, which I had been using with my 2016 iPad Pro and 1st gen Apple Pencil for some time, but while the new Pencil Pro can use the brushes in the app, the new functions are not working, ie squeezing the pencil to see menu on screen, rolling the pencil barrel to change the brush tip angle etc.

Should the Apple Pencil Pro be fully functional with Adobe Fresco, or do the new functions not operate with Fresco? If someone could confirm I would very much appreciate it, because Apple say it is a third party app, so I need to check with the developer first. Hoping someone out there can give me some direction here, because at present I seem to have spent more than £1400 upgrading my equipment with no discernible benefit. Thanks in advance.

Regards

Alan

Hi, I have an iPad Pro 5th generation. Installed adobe Fresco, and the apple pencil's not working. I deleted the app, disabled the pencil. Reinstalled the app, pencil is on in preferences, and even turned off to hand gestures.

Now what? Why do we have to go threw this.

Hello @determined_Gem16B8,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing more details, like the OS/Fresco version, details of your workflow, and a video showing what's not working when using the Apple Pencil with Fresco on your iPad, so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hi Anubhav,

You need more info :

iPad Pro - 5th generation with its Apple Pencil.
OS 17.5.1
I downloaded Fresco version 5.6.0 from the app. Store yesterday, June 11th.

I activated only draw with Pencil. After many shutdowns, nothing worked.

The video shows that nothing still works after testing it before this email.

The options I've seen on youtube videos aren't present with the most current version on the app store so I think they're using an unreleased version. I hope they release the update soon because I've been looking forward to using the new features of the pencil.
