Roll back this awful Fresco update! Who wanted the tools at the top?! It’s now unusable

Just roll it back.

    @Abhishek Rao that is for your reply but it shouldn’t be: go this link and complain there it should be “we heard you and we are working it as quickly as we can” the updates in fresco look like someone who never used the app jumbled around everything without even knowing the shortcuts or the quick tabs of the pencil. It’s ridiculous. I pay a lot of money per month for professional tools within the adobe sphere. Please keep your tools professional.

    I just love this app but I’ve now spent hours trying to get my tool bar back to the left again searching the internet I don’t mind change & updates i adapt to changing formats etc but this is upsetting & quite awkward  to use please put it back together again,  80 year old

    Same here, I’m a professional illustrator who’s been using Fresco for the last few years. The new UI is god-awful!! My favourite part of the mini palette is completely simplified to nothing, it’s so cumbersome and inefficient to use. It was a dream to squeeze my Apple Pencil and have the full colour wheel, recent colours, recent brushes, and the brush settings all in one. Not to mention that even opening the brush drop-down doesn’t automatically show recent brushes anymore, and I have to manually select it every single time now. This update is an absolute downgrade. Please roll it back immediately, or at least give us everyday users the option to switch back to 7.2. I’m now trying to rush some deadlines while juggling with this new UI that sucks.

    I came for the same issue. Who thought it is a good idea to take the tools artists are used to and rearrange them the way they like? Muscle memory is a big part of drawing, so why take away the tools artists reach to by reflex? You mess up the whole process and can’t get into the zone anymore. Now I have to actively look for the tools I usually use with no problems. 
     

    Why not make their location on the screen customisable?

    I understand that updates may come with changes, but in a program such as this it’s important to have options for the users. If the update is to replace the toolbar on the top, fine, but keep the option to put it on the left side (or the right for that matter) for us users, so we can decide on our own where to place it, so we can keep the workflow as good as possible. Please, for the love of god..put the toolbar back on the left side or at least make the option to have it wherever we like.

    Now I’ve switched the tool properties to the right so I’m not worried about my left arm covering them (leftie) I’m actually ok with the toolbar at the top. Layers needs to be on the side but I don’t change properties of my tool as often so I guess I’m ok the way I use fresco now.

    The update is genuinely terrible. I’m not ever using Fresco anymore if an option to put the tools back on the left isn’t given.

    I’m glad it’s not me, but I know too well, in interface design people can get used to something, it doesn’t mean it was better… Usually there is no better… just how you adjust to it. It seems like the ability to set the tool bars where you want in iOS would be greatly appreciated. As a leftie I know I pretty much never like where anything is! Anyway dev team, pls don’t take the feedback to heart, we appreciate your work, I’ve found a lot of to die for features that weren’t in the app a year ago, so you’ve clearly been doing great work for a long time.

    I was just struggling with the paint brushes, I get overwhelmed every time I open it, it’s like when someone asks you to tidy your room and all you can see is a million things to do and no idea where to start, my heart freezes, it’s not pleasant at all, surely I’m not the only adhd artist that feels that way?. If pixel and vector are separate, it’s just set and forget. and yes, I set favourites. But I still have to open this massive panel and choose from it.

    but mostly it’s my disorientation after watching tutorial videos from last year and I can’t find the feature or tool they’re talking about. And when I looked a couple of weeks ago all the official adobe video tutorials were out of date as well… this makes things very discouraging for me as a user and I wish I hadn’t let the auto update start.

    anyway still waiting for my new Apple Pencil in the mail so haven’t gotten into the app the way I wanted yet…

    In the 20+ years Ive used Adobe products I had my tools on the right or the left, but NEVER on top. I thought my cat screwed up my settings when he sat on my iPad but alas, it was Adobe. PLEASE fix this travesty.
