I have project that I'm doing with only Photoshop Pencils and I would like to port it the workflow to my iPad. Sadly, when I can't import the pencils into Photoshop for iPad or Fresco.

 

How can I do this?

 

Thank you!

Have you tried using your Libraries? I save all of my brushes in there. The only difference between a brush and a pencil is the antialiasing - pencils have none and make jagged edges. Mabye Fresco can't use them??

Probably your right, Fresco can't use pencils made in photoshop. I have multiple libraries with brushes and pencils in Photoshop, but only the brushes show up in Fresco. A pitty.

Both PS for iPad and Fresco can import brushes in .abr format. To get them out of Photoshop, select your brushes (pencils, in your case) and in the Brushes panel drop down menu, select "Export Selected Brushes". You can then share those files to yourself, via email or any other method. To import them, please take a look at this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/photoshop-brushes-ipad.html

Hi @S_Gans ,

I've tested this method but at the end of the procedure, only the brushes appear, and not the pencils.
