Hello

 

I'm new to Fresco, and I need some help,p please. I'm trying to convert my procreate brushes to the Adobe Fresco app, but when I tried to add a brush, it seems the Procreate Brush files aren't appear to shown of any files. I don't know what I did wrong. I did message the assisnt support for help to me with brush files, and they told me to export Procreate brushes or brushest files to Fresco but..nothing is working?

 

Is there something I did wrong?

Correct answer Imaginerie

You could have  a 7 day trial of Photoshop and see if it fits your needs, or use the Adobe Capture app, which should be free with an Adobe account (even a free one, ie: the one you use for Fresco)

I am not super familiar with Procreate brushes files... but...
Can you export them individually?
If yes: What are the file formats they are in?

The best way to create brushes in Fresco form - say - PNGs or Jpegs, is to create Photoshop brushes (using Photoshop 😉), as with a couple of caveats, they are compatible.

So any Photoshop brush will be read correctly by Fresco, taking into account pressure parametres, texture etc...

From what I read online, Procreate brushes are in a proprietary format, and while it can import Photoshop/Fresco brushes (.abr), it looks like it only exports in their own format (.brushset or .brush)

If there was a way to export such brushes as PNGs or another widely available file format, converting them to a Fresco brush is really easy, through Photoshop.

I found that video, not sure it helps!

Once there, you will be able to save your brushes as  .abr, add them to your library and then locate them, through your library on Fresco.
You'll also find a truck load of brushes here: All comaptible with Fresco!

Note that you can also create brushes directly for Fresco using the app Capture:

    My goodness, that's is very helpful 😄, the format of the procreate brushes are brush or brushet file that I'm trying to converted to arb file. And the only way to do that is to use photoshop. Unfortunately I can't do free trail with photoshop that pays monthly subscription.
