Hi there. Is it true that you can't go above a certain pixel ratio when using the live brushes in Fresco? If so, what is the threshold? Thank you!

Hi Sean. 

 

You'll definitely be able to get an 8K x 8K document on that.

Hi Sean. 

 

The allowable document size for Live Brushes content is determined by processing power  but also by the device's ability to allocate memory: 4GB devices (and up) can create 8K documents and less than 4GB devices are  limited to 4K 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 4000.

 

What device are you on?

Hey Sue! Thanks for the reply! I'm about to buy the latest ipad pro 2, 512gb storage. Where might that put me? Thanks!

Dunno what the formal threshold is but I created a 300ppi 11x17 and it would not let me use live brushes.
