Honest Abe Contemplating the old Freco UI

Abraham Lincoln loved Adobe Fresco, just as she was, in all her imperfect glory. He always rolled his eyes when somebody tried to compare it to Procreate. Then one day Adobe decided to "fix" Fresco and Abe has never been the same. Thankfully, Abe had automatic updates disabled. He uses Fresco on his iPad for as long as she will keep working and even messes around on Procreate because he is not sure how if he can endure the violent workflow disruption awaiting him when his iPad dies. Poor guy 😥

This piece was created on the best illustration software ever known - Adobe Fresco 7.2.0 - for a curriculum project.

Artwork/Work in progress

Just wanted to share some work in progress...while thinking about our Fresco community and the frustration many if us have with the new UI. (I am so thankful to have my rapid brush controls and floating color palette in full-screen mode) Fortunately, I had my automatic updates turned off on my iPad, so I am still running the old Fresco UI, but now I am afraid to update my iPad iOS! (We will see how long I can keep this going without gliches) Hoping Adobe will listen to the outcry and give us some abilities to switch back 🤞

How is everyone creatively coping out there?

Adobe Asked for Feedback — Here’s a Constructive Fresco UI Wishlist

Adobe has been asking users lately about workflow, tool placement, and UI feedback, so instead of just venting about the new Fresco update (not a fan!), I thought it’d be useful to make a constructive wishlist/discussion thread.

Here are some things I personally miss from the older UI and some ideas that could improve Fresco moving forward:

• Faster brush controls. The old swipe controls for size/opacity/smoothing felt much faster than individually selecting each setting.

• Bring back the floating fullscreen toolbar. Having quick brush controls available in fullscreen mode gave more canvas space while still keeping essential controls accessible.

• Better brush/color integration. It would be nice if brush settings and color controls felt more unified instead of visually separated.

• Separate brush categories worked better. Keeping Pixel, Live, Vector, and Library brushes clearly separated was easier to navigate than losing sight of main categories.

• Undo button placement feels risky. Having Undo so close to Home can lead to accidental taps during fast workflow moments.

• Better palette customization. Please let us: – remove colors from palettes – reorganize palettes – save cleaner palettes into Adobe Libraries – reuse them more easily across projects

• More UI/workspace customization. Even basic options like: – movable toolbars – hiding unused tools – left/right toolbar placement – simple workspace presets

…would go a long way for advanced users.

I know some people like parts of the redesign, but I think a lot of frustration comes from disrupted workflow and muscle memory. Curious what other Fresco users would want added back or improved.
