How about moving the drawing to Photoshop?

Report · Sep 27, 2019

So we all know that we can get our files from Photoshop to Fresco, how about moving the artwork back to Photoshop from Fresco?

It is as simple as it sounds. Check out how:

1. Tap on the share icon on the title bar

Back to Ps_Fresco-Community-export.png

2. Tap on Publish & Export.

3. Tap on Export As and then select PSD as the output format.

4. Tap on the Export button.

5. Choose a location to save the PSD and then tap on Add.

You can also refer to the help document here: https://helpx.adobe.com/fresco/using/fresco-and-photoshop.html to know more about the workflow between Fresco and Photoshop.

It's not as simple as it used to be to just send your artwork to open photoshop or illustrator. I had the best time with that feature (even though it worked better on pc than on the mac). Wonder if we will ever get those again?

Hi raluca72222, thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it onto the product team here so that they can work on this aspect of the app as well.

Thanks! -Yes, this would be great to have. The opposite would be nice too. Where I can easily send a photoshop file from my desktop app the other way to fresco with a one click option.

Hello, thanks for the fast reply. However from reading this article it seems that it only applies to acrobat? I am using Adobe Fresco on my ipad pro, how can I convert to cmyk on my ipad Pro?

Thank you

Hi Chelsea,

As far as I know there is no option to change the color profile in Fresco on iPad. But I suggest going through the thread here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/fresco/adobe-fresco-embedded-color-profile-in-export/m-p/11114772 to understand the color profiles in Photoshop.

Regards,

YES! that feature is sorely missed in Fresco

Report · May 23, 2022

I agree. Since I illustrate children's books, I do want to be able to work directly in CMYK without a workaround. The gamut is much smaller. There are no disappointments because some colors just cannot print well, and it is a lot of less work to get the illustration print ready. It would be great if I could just set it up in Fresco natively.

YES. Same here and right now!

I am very dissappointed that Fresco and Photoshop files are not seamless. I thought the same psd file would work across both platforms without fuss. Currently, it is still ALOT of fuss with dubicates files and multiple steps! Will this change in the future? Honestly, working with Photoshop files and Fresco without swaping in and out of different file locations is the one feature that would set this apart from other ios apps.

Hi me2gingko, I'm sorry that you are not happy with the cross product feature. Could you elaborate a little more on what you're seeing right now that isn't working for you and what would you like the workflow to be in future so that I can capture your feedback and pass it onto the product team.

I was expecting the same PSD file to sync seamlessly across devices. Allowing me to start a Photoshop document on the computer and continue to work on the same project within Fresco. No exporting or file conversion needed. As an illustrator, I already use several excellent drawing apps on the iPad. Like Fresco, files need to be turned into PSD files to use with Photoshop, creating many duplicates and a tedious workflow. Fresco would be valuable to me only if it offered a seamless workflow with Photoshop. Others might want it to be seamless with Illustrator! Either way, converting files and having multiple versions of the same illustration is unproductive. Thank you for hearing my thoughts,

It seems to be rather difficult to share Fresco files seamlessly with Photoshop. Adobe Sketch simply has a 'share to Photoshop ' ability and bingo there is your file open in Photoshop. Why not the same for Fresco?

I've tried exporting as a PSD file and keep getting an alert triangle and 'tap to try again'

Hi there, are you connected to the internet and signed in to your Fresco app?

I'm having issues saving (exporting) Fresco .pdfs to Creative Cloud file folders. Getting an "Operation can't be completed. Couldn't communicate with helper application.Can save without problems to other cloud file vendors.

Hi mlowry3ml ,

That's strange. Are you connected to an internet network which is free of firewalls? Also can you confirm if this is happening with a particular file only or on all drawings?

Hi I had a fresco layered doc sent to photoshop where I added in multiple items then went to open back up in Fresco to edit and the layered files I originally brought in from Fesco are now uneditable. I can see the layers I added but the original fresco file I cannot work with. Please help./

I too have had this problem and wish they would solve it.

Hello @Babington. Co,

We understand that technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind creating a duplicate of the file you're having trouble with on the Creative Cloud Documents website (https://adobe.ly/3SQRDbi) to check if it helps? Also, try downloading the file as a PSD and then importing it in Fresco, and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav
