Just roll it back.

This is really baffling. Do you realise that by doing this, you’re hindering the work of people who actually use Fresco for a living? First of all, I really don’t understand why you’ve made such drastic changes when there was absolutely no need or requirement for them. Besides, why not let us decide which layout suits us best? Even just for a trial period, to see who switches to the new one and who sticks with the old layout!
The new layout of the tools makes no sense, and what’s more, some features that were essential to me—like adding photos—are missing.
You haven’t improved the app’s interface at all.
You’ve really messed up!
Put the old version back!

So true. I have to draw something for a competition to submit it soon. Now I have to figure out the order of my tools instead of focusing on my art piece. It is stressing me out. I can’t imagine the frustration of trying to do your job while dealing with this.

The new update is horrible, roll it back or at least have a setting to change it back!!!! The app is unusable now and the update messes up my muscle memory!

It was moved to the tools drawer. You have to slide it over and it’s at the end. I almost had a panic attack trying to find it.

Here’s a link to feedback asking for toolbar rollback https://adobefresco.uservoice.com/forums/919786-adobe-fresco/suggestions/51282106-ability-to-reset-the-toolbar-to-its-original-place I totally agree this update has ruined the app, I only just invested in an iPad to use fresco especially because it’s such a great app, enjoyed about 2 weeks of painting and now adobe has basically junked it. It is impossible to use full screen, because absent access to toolbar you have to exit full screen just to be able to change a setting, access colour palette, tool size… that’s insane! Was the update designed by AI?!?! It certainly wasn’t made by anyone who has ever used the app!

I Need the Fresco toolbars back where they were, this is the only drawing app I can use right now. Please, bring back the Fresco I love. Please, I need this app to work with me. Please, make it where I can revert the UI. I’ve already posted in the fresco app suggestions, I’m only going to keep posting every day until you change this. Thank you in advance, - AmaylaCheesecake
