Adobe Fresco Reviews & Product Details

The live brushes behave like real paint—watercolors bleed, bloom, and stay wet on the canvas, while oil paints mix colors directly on the brush tip. Having both vector and pixel brushes on the same canvas makes it easy to do crisp outlines and textured shading in the exact same file. Stylus response and palm rejection are smooth with virtually no stroke lag, making sketching feel very close to drawing on real paper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maximum layer limits kick in relatively quickly on high-resolution canvases if you are using an entry-level or mid-range tablet with limited RAM. Text and typography tools inside the app are quite basic, so adding formatted typography or multi-line copy still requires finishing the file in Photoshop or Illustrator. Windows stylus compatibility can occasionally be hit-or-miss depending on the specific graphics tablet drivers installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe Fresco is for making digital drawing and painting. The interface is clean and beginner friendly and I really like the variety of brushes and realistic painting effects. It performs smoothly for most creative tasks and integrates well with other Adobe applications. The overall experience is quite intuitive, even for someone who is still learning digital art. Considering the tools and features it offers, I think it provides good value. The setup is simple. and the creative features make experimenting with different styles enjoyable.

Although Adobe Fresco is a useful creative tool, I feel there is room for improvement. Some features can take time to understand, especially for beginners. Performance can occasionally slow down when working with complex artwork or multiple layers. I would also like to see more flexibility in integrations with non Adobe tools. The subscription pricing may not suit everyone, particularly casual users. Better onboarding tutorials and quicker access to customer support would also improve the experience. More intelligent AI assisted creative futures would be a nice addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Adobe Fresco to teach students the fundamentals of drawing and painting. I like the live brushes, user-friendly interface, and seamless integration. The realistic brushes simulate techniques like watercolor blending and oil painting, which helps me teach art concepts in a focused way. Adobe Fresco also works across platforms, and it saves me the expense of buying paints, brushes, canvas, and other physical materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it limiting that advanced features require a paid subscription, and I faced device compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about it most are the Pixel Brush and the Live Brushes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is limited android support and also it's not a complete graphic design tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well firstly, I'd like to say I used to be a big fan of painting on Photoshop (yes even over tools like Procreate, PaintTool SAI, Krita, etc). So, when I got to know about Fresco, Adobe already grabbed my attention.

What I really love about Fresco is:

-A familiar interface that is very much similar to other Adobe products.

- It has got the Adobe CC integration and the file can be transferred across other design tools such as Photoshop.

- Wide range of personalised brushes (not as many as Procreate though but compared to Ps) which makes the job easy and looks awesome!

- Works smoothly with my non-digital graphic tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn't very optimized for vector art, making me switch to Adobe Illustrator every time I feel like doing vector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Integration with Adobe softwares

- The live paint brushes in Fresco are excellent

- No connection with iPad size or model- in fact you can use it on windows devices too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Worthwhile if you have an adobe creative cloud subscription

- It takes a bit of time to get used to the way Fresco is structured

- less intuitive than procreate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use with intuitive interface. Works fantastically with the Apple Pencil. Tracing photos is easy as can be. Very easy to make patterns quickly. The animation is very easy to do and works great. Easily able to share documents and export different formats for different uses. Many excellent and useful brushes. Working on the iPad is really great. The multiple layers are very easy to use and make for excellent results. the history remembers the work you do and makes it easy to back up if you go down the wrong path. Great access to external sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some tasks are quite complicated. The iPhone version is not that useful. The files can get quite large. It's quite easy to accidently select the wrong brush when drawing quickly. Occasionally it can undo by accident and then not remember what was done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is so good if you want to paint freely, I think it's perfect to simulate the painting irl. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that, precisely as it imitates painting irl, it can be complicated for a new user to understand some things about painting. But i think that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

great for graphic designers, it's user-friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

could have more trace options would be helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The vector brush option definitely rates this app higher than similar products like procreate. The ability to seamlessly move our sketches into AI from Fresco without losing details and quality makes this product stand out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The brushes are a bit more limited than other program options. I wish there were more controls on specifically the vector brushes for shape and smoothing curves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
