r/AdobeFresco

I am using the windows version with a screen tablet, i can seem to move a copied Vector image, if i try too it disorts and moves a little, i just want to copy layer and move the object to the other side for eyes. using the arrow keys are so slow its like pulling teeth. Please help

Thanks

Where is the import image button in the new update? Is it buried somewhere like the ruler or am I just totally missing it?

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.

I don’t know how much the team monitors this subreddit, but if they do, PLEASE revert the new update, or at least add an option to use the old layout. I don’t see why it would be so difficult to just add a toggle for whether the toolbar is on the left or top. My entire workflow has been ruined by the sudden relocation of the toolbar, the undo/redo buttons, the inability to move the brush settings (why would they just straight-up remove a feature??), etc.. There is absolutely no way I’m going to be able to get used to this, because I have ADHD and motor conteol issues that make it extremely difficult to learn software to begin with, and having to unlearn the muscle memory I’ve built for years and relearn a layout that is worse for my hands anyway is not something that I’m going to be able to do. Before I could just reach over with my Apple Pencil to select things from the toolbar, but now I have my move my whole arm up to reach the toolbar every time I want to select something else, which takes way longer, and if I don’t want to do that I have to repeated flick my wrist up and down which is a surefire recipe for repetitive strain injury. I don’t mean to sound hostile or rude, but my only options here are to beg them to revert the update or just abandon Freeco altogether, because the new update makes it pretty much completely unusable for me. :(

Pretty much what it says on the tin. Oh my god, whose idea was this? Genuinely? I don’t get the point of changing things that didn’t need changing. Just makes the entire thing harder to use

Is there any way to get the old UI?

Fair thing for me to mention. I might just be bitter because I’m autistic and hate change, but I genuinely just do highly dislike the new ui and am desperate to just get back to the familiar one

The new Adobe Fresco update (7.3.0) is bad. The toolbar had a big change, and productivity is very slow now.

1. The main brush/utility toolbar was moved from the left to the top. It would be slightly acceptable since the size and smoothing is still on the left, but they decided to also move the COLOR CHANGER to the top, which is a hassle because it disrupts workflow by having to reach the top of the display just to get a different shade of green.

2. The undo/redo buttons are on the left, also, which for right handed people who don’t use gestures, that will also halt productivity since you are either using your non-dominant hand to touch the buttons or shifting your dominant one from the right to left of the screen.

One of the reasons why I used Fresco was because I HATED the UI of procreate.

This new format feels so much messier to me

Everything being at the top of the screen really messes with work flow.
Also I don’t need to see my brush size and settings as a bar at all times

At least the color picker should be there if we have to deal with this stupid UI

As I’m sure you guys know, Fresco got a new update and it’s horrible not great,

and I need to switch to the older version as the UI is so bad I am physically impeded

Why on earth did you put everything at the top, you couldn’t have put it in a worse spot even if you could

Soooo yeah, does anyone know how to downgrade my version on IPad? I’m willing to do literally anything

If any employees of adobe are reading this, I’m willing to even pay money for a copy of the previous update, that is how desperate I am, seriously, you’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist and it’s to the active detriment of everybody, including the beginners
