The app uses Apple’s Metal framework for maximum performance. We’ve been trying it out on our 2017 iPad Pro which runs it well, but broadly-speaking it’ll work on any iPad with Apple Pencil support – so that’s any iPad Pro but it also works with the 2019 iPad mini and iPad Air, too.

The idea of the app is to appeal to people who just want to get on and create – although the app will be part of Creative Cloud, Adobe said back in June that “anyone with the right hardware will be able to draw and paint in Fresco for free.” It’s been in a test phase on the iPad, but it will come to other tablets such as Microsoft’s Surface range.Īdobe first gave us a sneak peek of the app this time last year under the code name of Project Gemini and gave it the name ‘Fresco’ a couple of months back. It goes ‘beyond Photoshop’ with new tools and a touch and stylus-orientated interface (but one that is intentionally familiar to users of other Adobe apps).

(Pocket-lint) - Fresco is a new app from Adobe that brings together painting and drawing with impressive results.
