Question

type, text tool

How is everyone's experience with the new text too?  I am so impressed, it runs so great.  It seems like the smudge brushes are getting all the attention, but I think the way the text tool is design is amazing. 

It is really easy to jump through the text blocks, style text, and all the little details of the UI seem to be really innovative and work well. 

I don't actually have a question, I am just so excited about this release.

    As the text tool isn't available in Windows if I create a drawing on the ipad and include text I loose it when I open up in Windows and it reverts to 'Lorem ipsom', and changes the text in the cloud so that when I reopen on the ipad I have to delete the layer and create the text layer again.  Is there a way around this whiole we wait for teh Windows version to have text?

     

    Thanks.

      That's strange. 

       

      Any text layer created in the iOS version of the app stays as it is on Windows as you cannot work on it because of the limitation of the feature.

      No, the text changes when it goes back into Windows (and is changed when I re-open it up in iOS too).  I had the text in a separate text layer but if I then 'Merge Down' that layer onto a drawing layer it keeps the text when I open it in Windows and so that is my work around.  I only found this after posting my message above.

      Hi Sheena! 

      Could you help me out? I've just done the latest update on my Windows Surface Pro tablet. I did get the smudge tool, but I don't see the text tool? And I'm really eager to use it..

        Text tool is not available on the Windows version of Fresco. It would come in future versions.
