History
editAdobe Fresco for iPad with Pencil support was first announced in November 2018, and was released in November 2019 as said in Adobe MAX 2019.[4]
The Adobe Fresco app has since been made free of charge to use, but it has a premium subscription that can be purchased separately or along with the Creative Cloud All Apps subscription.[5][6]
In 2022, Adobe Fresco was reviewed as an easy way to create art with sketching, painting, and watercolor on an iPad.[7]
Features
editThe user interface contains different features including Live and Vector Brushes, basic photo editing, layering, and more.[8]It also offers Perspective grids and supports basic animation with motion tools introduced in 2021. The sidebars that are found at each edge of the screen contains a variety of tools to select, create, and manipulate objects or artworks in Fresco. These tools can be selected as following: drawing, typing, painting, reshaping, slicing and cutting, symbolism, moving and zooming, and sketching.
