"Great drawing and painting app with natural live brushes, though layer limits apply on basic devices"

5/5

What do you like best about Adobe Fresco?

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.

What do you dislike about Adobe Fresco?

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.

What problems is Adobe Fresco solving and how is that benefiting you?

Switching between raster drawing apps (for natural textures) and vector apps (for clean, scalable shapes) usually meant working across two different software programs and constantly transferring files. Fresco solves this by combining natural watercolor/oil brushes, vector pens, and standard pixel brushes into a single, clean workspace on touch and stylus devices. I use Adobe Fresco on a tablet with a stylus for custom creative assets, marketing graphics, and digital illustrations: I sketch out initial visual concepts, floral designs, and custom decorative banners using the pressure-sensitive pencil and vector brush tools. I use the live watercolor and oil brushes to add blended, natural-looking paint textures to backgrounds and promotional greeting creatives. I export finished vector linework as scalable PDFs or send files straight to Photoshop and Illustrator via Creative Cloud cloud documents without losing layers.
