Problem with the Color drop Tool
Farida animations
This app is really amazing, probably the best digital drawing app I’ve ever used. 😍 I’ve been using it for a year now and recently noticed how when I color drop a full completed shape, with no open ends it colors it all for sure but there’s always a white line inside what I just drew. To be honest, this makes things harder for me, and makes me take a lot more time on my drawings, I work really hard on them and make sure every detail is perfect. I know I titled the review as “Problem with the Color Drop Tool” but I have a few suggestions to make the app better 😁 1. Add an “add audio” option to animations 2. As for appearance of the app, I suggest more than the dark/ light interfaces. Maybe colors for example, I believe that will make artists more motivated to draw and get creative while drawing. 💪✍️ Sincerely, Farida Animations ❤️
Developer Response
EDIT: Hi Farida animation, you may need to alter your ColourDrop Threshold by sliding your finger or Apple Pencil across your screen just after dropping the colour. This will allow you to fill the area more or less. Hi Farida animation - thanks so much for your 4 star review! 😀 Procreate is mainly an illustration program with the ability to make simple animations. That being said, we've been hearing a lot of feedback about users wishing for the option of adding sound and music as well, so we may look into it further in the future.
One of my favorite apps right now
mu.ashraf
Just like the title it’s one of my favorite apps right now and I think it is the coolest editing app and with Photoleap by like tricks and procreate mixed together I can put myself in a whole New World I can just remove the background from my photo with Photoleap import the saved photo into Procreate and draw the world I wanna be in I think this is by far one of the coolest apps on the App Store and well this is an amazing app
Developer Response
Hey mu.ashraf - thank you very much for the kind review of Procreate. It's cool that with a combination of softwares you can work on your photos and images. 🙌
Suggestion for the Undo
Ahmad Moneer
I am Suggesting an Undo action for each layer separately so we can get back on each layer developments when we select it, this will reduce the duplicates of the layers and much more other things, hope you will read this and make it if suitable, thanks for the amazing app
Developer Response
Hi Ahmad Moneer - At this time we offer up to 250 Undo steps on any canvas while working on that canvas. More saved steps would currently use up too much memory and slow down the program significantly. Offering more options in terms of Undo is something we're are planning for the future though. :)
OK. We went too far. This update sharpens the corners of your Gallery thumbnails. It also calms down the height of Animation and Page Assist and fixes an issue in 3D painting where you couldn't import meshes without normals.
Remember that all your custom brushes are available in the Classic Library by pinching the brush panel, or tapping the Procreate Library title.
