Adobe has updated its Fresco app for iPad with numerous improvements including Shapes, Multicolor Eyedrop, Mixer Brushes, Touch Shortcut, Vector Trim, and more.

Adobe Fresco is a free drawing and painting app built especially for Apple Pencil and iPad, and designed for artists who draw professionally or paint for passion. Want to take your artwork to the next level? Upgrade to the premium version through the App Store and you'll also get Photoshop on iPad, plus all the premium features of Adobe Fresco, including thousands of exclusive brushes that get updated seasonally.



What's New In This Version:
● SHAPES: Kick start your drawing process by using shapes to stamp, fill, mask, erase, or make selections. Choose from a basic circle, square, and polygon or bring in your own custom shapes from Adobe Capture or Creative Cloud libraries.
● MULTICOLOR EYEDROP: Color swatches can contain multiple colors so you can paint with more than one at a time using any Pixel or Live brush. Make a multicolor swatch using the Eyedropper combined with the Touch Shortcut.
● MIXER BRUSHES: Based on Photoshop Mixer brushes, these new brushes smudge and blend while painting. We’ve added a new section under Pixel brushes with several options to choose from.
● TOUCH SHORTCUT The little circle on your canvas is called the Touch Shortcut and has many uses. You can think of it like a “shift” key on a keyboard. We added a second state, which you can access for more options. Press the Touch Shortcut, and then out to the edge to access the second state.
● VECTOR TRIM: While using a vector brush, you can now quickly trim paths with this new feature. Using the secondary action of the Touch Shortcut, tap once to trim overlapping vector strokes, or scribble three times over any stroke to completely erase it.
● MORE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS: If you’ve got a keyboard attached to your iPad, enjoy advanced shortcuts to create a new layer, flip canvas, and more. Check out the full list under App Settings.
● VELOCITY TAPER: Under each vector brush we’ve added advanced controls for tapering based on how quickly you draw your vector stroke. Customize each vector brush however you desire.
● RULER MEASUREMENTS: We’ve updated the ruler so that it can be pinned to the canvas and used to measure your strokes while you draw. Access the ruler in the bottom right corner of the canvas for making straight lines in any direction.
● IMPROVED COLOR MIXING FOR OIL BRUSHES: Try the new color mixing capabilities of oil brushes.
