Does Photoshop have any sort of Quickshape feature like Procreate?

Question

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.

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.
