Taper

Jermaine creatives on

Philippines

The double ended taper is not working.

Love the flexibility, but changing brush size is a little flimsy

NetBa_Art on

Philippines

I love the flexibility of the brushes, the various textures and effects they have. But it’s bothered me that I can’t properly adjust the size accurately. The ‘%” size isn’t accurate relative to my zoom in the canvas, and painting sort of becomes a trial and error of finding the right size when painting. Because I end up finding myself making it too small or too bug. It would be nice if scaling the size would show a circular or brush shape outline preview on the canvas that adjusts relative to my zoom so I know exactly how big it would be. I suppose a clear example would be like in clip studio paint where if your cursor is out of the canvas window, and you change the size with shortcuts like the square bracket you would see a circle or the brush preview adjust accurately to its size in the center of the screen. I think that’d be a helpful feature! If it’s there already I’d love to know how I can enable it. (Different to hovering the pen and it shows a preview of the brush tip)

Heating issues

Everything is working well. But it heats up my M4 iPad Pro 13" after 20 minutes of use. It gets really hot to the point that it's unbearably hot and is draining my battery

I love to Draw! 🎨

When I downloaded procreate it was a great app, very nice and ran smoothly and great features but recently my animation work glitched and disappeared from my gallery and I cant get it back.

Color Picker Issue

DyanAdryn on

Philippines

Whenever I picked a color from my reference, the color will not be same when I put it in my painting. I tried the color picker of my iPad gallery and its color picker can get the right same color but the Procreate color picker is not the same. Please help and fix this issue.

Its like soo bad..

Jtan16 on

Laggy even though i deleted some apps and always crashes like i thought you were a good person, Procreate.

maybe fix up the reference window?

jay jay0 on

Philippines

this app is alright, i use it all the time. the only complaint i have is that the reference window is not so good imo. it counts as it’s own layer in the canvas, even compresses the quality a lot everytime you leave the canvas so you constantly have to change it back.

PNG not working

Lilartst on

Philippines

Hi. It’s frustrating that I have to save my artwork with transparent bg. I already uncheck the bg layer But saving it as PNG Didn’t work at all. It still have white background if I share and save to my iPad
