QuickShape drawing mode in Photoshop - like in Procreate
Hey,
I’ve been using Photoshop for over ten years. Few years ago I also started using Procreate on an iPad, because it feels more intuitive and natural for drawing.
Many artists with a similar background and experience, that I talked to feel that Photoshop is missing a feature that would make digital illustration much more convenient and faster.
Problem:
One of Procreate’s nicest tools is QuickShape. You draw a rough line or shape and hold your stylus then stroke snaps into a perfect straight line, circle, rectangle or other shape.
You can then tap an option to edit the points and adjust the shape without switching to the Pen tool. This makes it easy to draw precise shapes quickly.
In Photoshop the closest option is shift‑click for straight lines or using shape tools and path editing, which in my opinion is much more less intuitive.
Solution:
It would be great to have a QuickShape drawing mode in Photoshop so you can hold a drawn stroke to snap it into a clean shape and/or optionally edit its points like in Procreate. Such a feature would sit alongside the existing shape tools, not replace them, so the current way of drawing shapes would still be available when needed.
Best Regards,
