Adobe's Fresco painting app is free for everyone starting today, in an effort by the company to add illustrators to its creative suite of software.
Fresco is essentially Adobe's answer to apps like Procreate and Clip Studio Paint, which provide a variety of tools for both digital art and simulating real-world painting materials like pencils and watercolor.
The Adobe Fresco app is designed for touch and stylus supported devices and is available for iPads, iPhones and Windows. The app already had a free tier, but premium features like access to Adobe's full font library, a much larger collection of brushes, and the ability to import custom brushes required an annual subscription ($9,99).
As of today, however, all of Fresco's premium features are not locked behind a paywall.
The app was first released in 2019 and is not particularly well-known compared to more established Adobe apps like Photoshop and Illustrator that have more sophisticated, professional design tools.
The Fresco app also has some cool features, like reflective and rotational symmetry (which mirrors the artwork as you draw it) and the ability to quickly animate designs with motion presets like “bounce” and “breathe.”
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
Let the painters feed the TN models, for free. When you don't pay for the product, you are the product.
