Does Photoshop have any sort of Quickshape feature like Procreate?

In procreate, whether you're drawing a circle, rectangle, or a curve, if you hold down the pen, it'll create a "perfect" version of the shape you are trying to make. I know that Photoshop obviosly has "shapes", but Im wondering if it has the "Quickshape" feature like procreate does, if maybe I have to turn it on in settings and just can't find it. Again, I know Photoshop has shapes, but the Quickshape is so much more convenient, especially when trying to make curves and archs. Im wondering the same thing for Illustrator. I know there is "smoothing", but this is far from the same thing.

Illustrator has similar features but not Photoshop as far as I may know…

Thank you. With regards to Illustrator, is this a feature you have to activate? If I do a  full arch, and hold it there, nothing happens. When I let go, it very very very subtlely corrects wiggle/shakey imperfections to smooth, but by no means allows correction of curve, arch, square, etc , as Procreate does. And I have adjusted fidelity between Accurate, all the way to smooth, and I don't get the results Im going for.

I don’t think Photoshop or Illustrator have anything exactly like that. The closest Photoshop has are the smoothing options it sounds like you already know about. The closest Illustrator has (I think…) is the Convert to Shape effect, but that only converts to rectangles and ellipses and is an effect you have to apply later, not something that works with interactive drawing.

One Adobe app that does do that is Adobe Fresco. It has a Snap To Shape option that allowed me to paint a perfect circle as in the picture below, even though the actual brush stroke I painted was definitely not perfect.

I haven’t used Procreate much, but I think Fresco is a lot closer to what Procreate does than Photoshop. Fresco is available for iOS and Windows.

Illustrator's Shaper tool may be of use to you. It instantly converts roughly drawn shapes to regular live shapes.

Ive been doing my sketching in Procreate and then mainly doing my Inking in Fresco. It is a FANTASTIC app. I love that you can cross two strokes, and the clipp off the excess to create sharp points. Wish they had Fresco PC or at lest have some of its dynamic features in PS or Illustrator.

It says it's available for Windows. I've only used the iPad version.

You can do that in Adobe Illustrator with the Join tool.
