Question

Watercolor live brush missing?

It's been a couple years since I used Fresco but I recently got a new laptop and installed it yet I can't seem to find the watercolor live brushes? Only oil paint shows up.

The device I used to use two years ago was also a laptop.

    Seems I'm mostly late to this, if I can't find the watercolour brush, what else can i use to colour?

    I have also just upgraded my Surface Pro - and am disappointed that the live water color brushes have disappeared - please bring them back so we can use them again.

    @Anubhav M  do you know if live watercolor brushes will be supported for surface pro in the future?

      Hello @Amelia5C4E,

      Thanks for reaching out. Watercolor brushes are currently supported on the devices listed in this help article: (https://adobe.ly/3zgQUZZ).

      If you're on a supported device, kindly share more details, like the exact version of the OS/Fresco, device make/model, and CPU/GPU details, so we can investigate this further.

      Looking forward to hearing from you.

       

      Thanks,

      Anubhav

      Thanks for the reply!

      Yeah, I use a surface pro so it seems I can't use those features. I even just noticed the missing smudge tool.

       

      A little disappointing but I can live with it 🙂
