All your queries releated to brushes are answered here.

1. Import huge brush sets or mega brush packs to Fresco

You simply just need to bring your brushes into Fresco through Photoshop for the smooth workflow. For better understanding, follow this tutorial: https://helpx.adobe.com/mobile-apps/how-to/kyles-brushes-in-sketch.html

2. Don't have Photoshop? Here's how to import the brushes to Fresco

For those who don't have Photoshop, you should make smaller file sets of the brush sets and bring in those smaller sets. So instead of trying to import 200 brushes at a time you'd be trying to bring in 20.

3. How to manage (delete, modify, rename) the brushes from within Fresco?

Its not possible to manage your brushes from within the Fresco app. You'll need to install the Creative Cloud Mobile App onto your iPad and manage your brushes from the Libraries tab.

4. Brushes imported to Fresco are grayed out or take time to load

If your brushes are successfully imported to the Fresco app but look grayed out or you just see the grey lines instead of brush names, please make sure that you're connected to a high speed network because the brushes take time to load basis on their size and network connection.

5. No way to reorder/re-arrange the brushes in Fresco?

If you find it tedious to scroll trough your brush in Fresco app each time you're working on any artwork, try marking the most used brushes as favorite and that way they should appear at the top.

And how about vector brushes? When will we be able to import those?

And before you suggest adding the request to the "user voice" website, I´ve already done it, along countless other users, a long time ago... but it does not seem that that website is being read or updated by adobe team at all (lots of features are still in "planned" or "started" status, or no status at all, when they are already long have been finished and launched).

Just please give us some general ETA at least.

Thanks.

Hi I've downloaded a few watercolour brushes into my pixel brush but how do I use those brushes with my water colour brush. I tried to move the brush to libraries but the libraries in the manage live brushes folder still stays faded out ... obviously not the work around.

Hey

U have 2 questions:

I imported all my brushes on photoshop (computer), yet none of them is in asobe fresco (ipad). I uploaded than (manualy!) all my brush sets to fresco (ipad) took me quiet some time, since it's not possible to multiselect sets. anyway, I did that, and it worked. now, 2 days later, I notice, the brushes are gone in fresco (ipad). I have not changed any settings or done anything with my ipad, my ipad is literally just for painting. I'm really confused, and I don't want to spend another evening adding brushes, if they are gone the next time I reopen the app.

Please let me know how to fix this and what the fastest was is, to import many brushsets to fresco (ipad).

ps: I'm always on the newwest versions of the apps on all my devices.

I've been using brushes I stored in my favourites for months now and all of a sudden most of them are greyed out now. The iPad I have is only a few months old, so why is this happening, so frustrated! 😒

I can't find any information on adding Illustrator brushes (.ai) to Fresco. Is this possible? When I try to add them they are greyed out.

Sheena,

I need to resolve my issue of why I can't download Kyles brushes from the web page. I never can get to the actual webpage because it keeps asking me to Sign In to Download. I press the button and a login page flashes by and it comes right back to the Sign in to Download web page you have listed. What up with this. I have a subscription for Freasc only and do not want to use photoshop at all. I love the Fresco program but this " brush loop" thing is driving me mad. It appears from your literature that you dont need Photoshop. I did however load up the trial version but I end up with the same LOOP. My subscription ID is [personal information removed by moderator]. Help me out if you can.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve.

Sorry you're having trouble following Kyle's brush libraries.

So we can get to the bottom of this, I'd like you to write me through Fresco's Report A Bug link (App Settings > Help > Support > Report A Bug). That will automatically share all of your device/app information but when you write us there please do the following

1. Sign in with your Adobe ID to https://assets.adobe.com/cloud-documents and make sure that all of the Fresco work you see on your iPad is also showing up there.

2. While still signed into the site, navigate to https://account.adobe.com/plans and take a screenshot of the plan information you see there

3. Then from the Home screen in Fresco tap the avatar icon in the upper nav. Then from App Settings menu tap Account > Premium Features and take a screenshot there

4. Next go to iOS Settings > Name Field (at the very top) > Subscriptions and send me a screenshot of what you see there.

You don't have to repeat everything you posted here, just let me know that you did, but please send me the screenshots (do not post those screenshots on the forum because they will contain personal information).

Sue.

Hi There!

I just purchased Adobe Fresco so that I can import Brushes! But I am unable to import any ! Is this not supported in a Windows device? I am using an HP Spectre 360! Please assist at the earliest!

Thanks!

Hi there,

Did the steps in the post above not work on your app?

The import happens through Creative Cloud libraries where your brushes sync and then they appear on the app.

Are there any specific brush sets that you're looking to import?

Sheena

Hi, is there a way to recall what brush you used earlier on in artwork?
I was using a great brush, changed to a few different brushes, then later on in the artwork, I wanted to use the same brush- but couldn't find it!

Hope you can help.

Hi Aye.

Unfortunately, no.

If you leave one brush family (say Pixel) and then go to another brush family (Vector) when you return to that first brush family your brush will still be selected but there is no way to find a previous brush in the same brush family if, for example, you've used ten different brushes in it.

We do know, however, how useful this feature would be and it will eventually make it into Fresco.

In the meantime, it can't hurt to just "favorite" brushes you like.

Sue.

Hi Sheena,

I have the same issue as nathancooper above. Wanting to remove duplicate sets of Kyle brushes that I imported because I didn't know/get any notification that they had loaded, I did as you instructed and installed the Creative Cloud Mobile App onto my iPad. However, there are no brushes under the Libraries tab. So then how do I delete the extra brush sets in Fresco?

Hi there,

Would you mind logging into https://assets.adobe.com/libraries and check if you're able to locate your brushsets and manage them from there?

In the meanwhile I can quickly check with the product team and get you more details.

Sheena

Is there any follow up to this, because I have tried my darndest to get the Kyle brushes that I have successfully downloaded into Fresco, to show up in the CC libraries.

It seems to be very hit or miss in that some users have reported finding them, but most users have not.

Is there any way that Adobe can add an option for the brushes to be downloaded directly to CC, instead of to Fresco.

That way they will be in the library for sure.

I'll second Taylor's experience. I loaded some brushes which strangely didn't show up in the composition I was working on but then I created a new composition, I could see them all but with multiple duplicates because I tried once, restarted, tried again, tried again (and again), before opening a different composition. So now have multiple duplicates in the brush panel.

I did find the libraries tab in the mobile app but it also does not show anything related to brushes.

Hi Sheena, if you have installed the brushes directly in Fresco, i.e., clicking "+ > Import from files", then you cannot mangage the brushes via the Creative Cloud Mobile app. Brushes installed the way I described do not appear there.

For users of Fresco who have installed brushes as I described, how do they delete brushes - the process you described does not work this way.

Hi there,

I checked at my end and when I import brushes using the same workflow as you described, they appear under the libraries tab in the Creative Cloud mobile app.

If I delete them from the Creative Cloud mobile app, they get removed from Fresco as well.

Can you try to check if you're signed in to fresco and Creative Cloud mobile app using the same Adobe ID?

Regards,

Sheena

Hi. I'm running into the same issue as Nathan. Brushes imported to Fresco from KyleWebster do NOT appear in creative cloud app. A small subset of Kyle's Megapack brushes appear in the creative cloud app (20 of the 300+ brushes) and that's it. I need to be able to remove his brushes from Fresco as it's absolutely killing my brush load time.
