My new favourite app

This app is my new favourite to draw with.

Until now I have been using procreate but its official; I have made the switch to fresco.

The live brushes are awesome but I love the vector brushes most. As a long time user of the pen tool in illustrator, I was amazed at how the vector brushes have made my workflow so much easier. I love it!!!!!!

Please keep adding stuff and who knows I may even make the jump in the creative cloud, which until now I haven’t been a fan of, but even that is so well done in this app.

Well done Adobe. This is the most impressed I have been in over 15 years of using your products. Excellent!

Very good. Almost there! / とても良いです。あとちょっと!

Thank you for a great tool! I use it as a notebook on a regular basis. The writing feels great! I knew the creator brushes were easy to use!
However, there are a couple of things that bother me.
I'm a left-handed user, but if the tool is hidden under my hand, I often make mistakes. It would be nice to be able to customize it, for example, if it were all tucked to one side.
Also, if you press and hold your finger down, you can use the eye-dropper function, but there are a lot of malfunctions when you're drawing, so I'm a little concerned about this. be. I feel that handling hand actions is another push.
File data also feels that the cloud is not that important. A system that defaults to saving locally and saves it as a backup at the end of the app. Personally, I feel that this is the best choice for me.
Regarding the selection, it is still weak in filling in and I feel it is lacking when illustrating. I'm looking forward to the future!
Fresco is far superior to Photoshop in terms of ease of use, so it is a great tool for drawing. I would love for you to pursue the goodness of Thank you!

素晴らしいツールをありがとうどざいます!日ごろからノートとして使っております。書き味が最高に気持ちいいです!やっぱりクリエイターブラシが使いやすいですね!
ただ、いくつか気になる点があります。
左利きユーザーですが、やはり手の下にツールが隠れると誤操作が頻発します。片側に全て寄せるなどカスタマイズができるようになると嬉しいです。
また、指で長押しするとスポイト機能が使えますが、これも描いていると誤動作が多く、少し気になります。手を使ったアクションの扱いがあともう一押しだと感じます。
ファイルデータもそこまでクラウドを重要視しなくても良いと感じます。ローカルで保存をデフォルトにしておき、アプリ終了時にバックアップとして保存するシステムが個人的には最適に感じます。
選択範囲について、やはり塗りつぶしに弱く、イラストを描く際に物足りなさを感じます。今後に期待してます!
手軽さにおいてはPhotoshopより断然Frescoが優れていますので描きものとしての良さをぜひ追求してもらいたいです。ありがとう!

So many crashes and lost files recently

I don’t know what’s going on with the app but recently I have encountered way too many crashes that accompany corrupted files and lost progress. About 1 out of 5 times I cannot successfully save a drawing but instead lose tons of progress. It’s extremely frustrating.

I have used the live chat support a couple of times when the app crashed and my file is corrupted (which by the way how could that be allowed to happen in the case of a crash), but every time the response is "it’s gone and we don’t know the cause". One time they even responded "Maybe you will know why it happened the next time it happens".

The app is very easy to use and I have subscribed to Adobes premium plan because of the app. But the file losses is too big a risk for getting all the fine functions of the app. Please fix it.

At least allow us to save the files locally!! And preferably automatically save the file in the case of a crash!!
