Getting started tutorials and inspiration from Behance are there to help if you get stuck. Professional creatives and novices alike should feel at home.

You can even export a Fresco document as a PSD file and adjust it further in Photoshop on the desktop.Īdobe says Fresco is built with a wide audience in mind.

A specific release date hasn’t been announced yet, but the application is still on track to launch on the iPad later in 2019. I’ve been documenting my experience - and hiccups - along the way. We discussed iPad illustration and Project Gemini with Gemini 10 member Tracie Ching earlier this year.Īpproaching a public release, Fresco is now in the hands of beta testers. Shaped by a group of professional artists known as the Gemini 10, Adobe refined Fresco’s design and workflows over the past year.

Announced alongside Photoshop on iPad (still arriving later this year), Gemini was the seed of what has become Adobe Fresco.

Last October at Adobe MAX, Adobe previewed a new application codenamed Project Gemini. I’ve been testing the app to see how natural it feels and how it compares to other tools, including Adobe’s own existing apps. Adobe Fresco is a new tool for iPad illustrators promising a truly organic drawing and painting experience that accelerates workflows across multiple devices. There’s no shortage of iPad creativity apps on the market today, but Adobe wants to prove there’s room for at least one more.
