SUMMER 2024 BRUSHES

[Carlos de Leon]

I see Summer 2024 brushes available for Fresco but not for Photoshop. Will they be made available in the future? Thanks.

What do Fresco Brushes have to do with Photoshop? 

Isn’t the Fresco Brush engine different from Photoshop’s (to allow for more complex behaviours)? 

[Carlos de Leon]

I don't use Fresco, but I do know that brushes for it and Photoshop have been released on the same day over the years, per the YouTube overview videos.

I don't know what the future holds for Photoshop brush releases since Kyle Webster left Adobe. Adobe rarely announce releases in advance.

The last releases are here:

I tried to verify something and I noticed that Fresco appears to be available only for iOS and iPadOS – that seems curious. 

[Carlos de Leon]

Fresco is only available on iOS. But in the past, its new brushes were launched in tandem with Photoshop brush updates once a quarter.

Fresco has been available on Windows since November 2019. I use it on Windows 10 and 11 desktop workstations with a Cintiq Pro

Yes we all know Kyle left Adobe and went to work on Procreate (for Savage)

"There is some confusion about why a Summer brush set for Photoshop and Fresco, designed by me, is being released even though I’m no longer at Adobe. These brush sets are created several months ahead of release for every season. I finished the Summer 2024 brushes quite a while ago." 30Jun24

but the original question to the Adobe employees who frequent this community still stands i.e., "why was the Summer 2024 set released only to Fresco when every other seasonal set prior to that had been released for BOTH Fresco and Photoshop" (yes, the brushes in those sets are compatible w/both programs).

@Carlos de Leon Sorry for the confusion. Kyle Webster has left Adobe. Unsure what this means for future releases of his brushes at https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/brushes.html

@c.pfaffenbichler Adobe releases quarterly brushes from Kyle for both Fresco and Photoshop.

[Carlos de Leon]

Thanks for the update. 

[Magdalena Pankiewicz]

Hi!I understand that Kyle has left Adobe, which is a great loss. However, the Summer 2024 brushes are available in Adobe Fresco, although they are still not on the Adobe website, even though some time has passed since their release.

[Carlos de Leon]

Thanks. Yes, I did see them available on Fresco, which is what sparked my inquiry as they still aren't available on Photoshop. Hopefully, they'll continue releasing them.

@Magdalena Pankiewicz pointed out that Kyle is no longer with Adobe, so I would not be overly optimistic in that regard.
