Question

Tablets for Outside Use - Recommendations?

I like Adobe Fresco, but I find that when I try to use it outside (on an older iPad) the display screen is too dark to display colors correctly. I was curious if anyone might have a suggestion for a drawing tablet with a brighter screen for use outdoors? Ideally it would support Adobe Fresco and be able to sync to Adobe Cloud or other cloud solution. Thanks.

As for what I have seen if your using a desktop with a tablet, Fresco is no longer available as an option. I feel that was a big blow to artist like myself that use our desktop for digital art.  The fact that this option was removed and now we have to go buy also an apple device to use the application is big disappointment specially when Apple already has Procreate.  I would of thought that after rising the price to double of what is use to be Adobe would at least make their apps available on all devices.  I am not an Apple owner and I have a Microsfot Studio Desktop and a Samsung S9 + that I use religiousely and had to turn to Clipstudio Pro and SketchBook Pro for digital art.  For 3D I have turned to Nomad, these software are either free or very cost efficient and work great.  The new Wacom Movink is also not compatible with Adobe so if your looking into that keep that in mind.  I love Adobe and what it can do and have been using it for many years, but I will say is becoming really expensive and limited to those who can use it.  Afiinity and Corel  are starting to look like the way to go after many years due to compatibility and price. I hope Adobe does something about this and help retain alot of us who are looking else where.

Hi @cjonesmn

 

Thank you for reaching out. Adobe Fresco is currently supported only on iOS and Windows platforms. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with any Android tablets.

Here is the list of devices on which Adobe Fresco is supported.

Thank you, how about other 3rd party tablets like a Wacom or similar?
