Simply great but I have 1 issue

Please fix the select tool. It’s not convenient. And when I make my drawing bigger i don’t want it to be pixelated. Ibis paint has a vector setting that helps avoid that. So, if I lasso something I also want to get out of the select tool and still be on lasso rather than deselecting the lasso. That is basically it. Thank you
Developer Response
Hi there! Procreate is a raster software, so you will always see pixelation when you zoom in. However, this should be less visible when working in larger canvases (in terms of pixel count) at regular zoom levels. If you’re still having trouble with this, please reach out to Customer Care via procre.at/support.We have also noted down your feedback! 🌟
Need help after the update

So I updated the app and tried the new brushes library, the problem is when I tried to open my older library it was empty, the sections were their but no brushes even the ones I made, and I really don't want to lose them. I tried switching between "on device" and "on iCloud", now I've lost half of the new library. This's horrible for me and I can't just delete and reinstall bc I got so many drafts there, let alone that I was mid-drawing. Please help
Developer Response
Hey there - thanks for leaving a review and reaching out! It’s a shame to hear this, and we'll help however we can. Brushes stored in iCloud can take some time to load, and may look empty for a moment, which may help to explain the initial issue. As a first troubleshooting approach, we recommend toggling on 'Store to iCloud' again and syncing the iPad: go to Settings app → (Your Name) → iCloud → Drive → Sync this iPad. If this issue continues, please reach out to the Customer Care team (procre.at/support) and we'll look into the issue with you. 🙏
I like it

Very good app and the best drawing app i tried so far I love the basic brushs and I love more the properties that you can change to make your own special brush Need to support palm rejection and other pen properties like pen only drawing and draging and moving with fingers
Developer Response
Hey Ali - thank you for the review of Procreate! We appreciate the support and the feedback, too! 😇
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.
