Hey guys!✨

Overall I am quite happy with the offer and it is definitely worth the money, I already have several works that I was even able to complete despite my possible ADHD.But I have a few suggestions ::- 1. The "Reference" function can be improved, namely: Add the ability to draw not only a face, but also what is displayed on the rear camera, because someone might like to draw this way from a still life, without being distracted from the screen each time. And also, increase the number of added images for reference in the form of 7-10 pieces, with the ability to scroll through them, of course.- 2. In the brush settings section there is "color dynamics", so I want to be able to customize the colors that can be used to paint, because painting with a rainbow is not always convenient, and you don't always need a combination of orange and yellow, but for example orange and blue, and switching between colors will complicate the work a little.- 3. Add a white transparent background, because it is not always convenient to work on a black transparent background.- 4. PLEASE! Add a function that can turn off the lines when the user has selected a certain area! It's terribly blurry to my eyes! Or better yet, remove it! You can designate an area that the user cannot work with, for example, by darkening it! It's just, seriously, it's wildly interfering with work, and I need selection in many of my works.- 5. Please add more effects, because, seriously, the choice is poor.Thank you very much for your app.

Hey there - thank you for your review and feedback! We’ll take note of your suggestions. We recommend trying out the Light interface option in Procreate by opening a canvas > go to Actions (wrench) > Prefs > and toggle on Light interface. The Selection mask visibility slider can also be adjusted from this menu. This will help to reduce or turn off the lines you see when making a Selection. We hope this helps! 💜
Great pixelation from rescaling after the update
Viktoriia94
I love Procreate the most out of all programs I tried, and I work in it exclusively ever since getting iPad. But with the new update the pixelation issue from rescaling has gotten quite severe, even though it was perfect before.It doesn’t matter which i choose bilinear, bicubic or nearest neighbour, it all results in the same jagged pixelated edges, even if the change itself may be quite minor. I’m someone who tweaks their images a lot through working, and I really really hope that this issue is known of and will be fixed soon😭🙏🙏🙏
Developer Response
Hi there - We have since released a patch update that should fix this issue. It would be great if you could update and then let us know via our support form at https://procreate.art/support if any issues persists.
Great application, I like it’s unique features
ElenViolet
I am a professional artist and I like the features and comfort of using the application. the only thing I miss after switching from a PC: the ability to copy several layers, for example, a folder with layers at once to transfer, and also lack the ability to apply effects over the entire folder. these functions are in many applications on the PC, why not add it here. and I was thrown out 4-5 times in last 2 days from the application for some reason, before that everything was fine, I hope you fix it soon. I think it happened after I copy-paste layers from different artwork… I have iPad Pro 2022

Hi ElenViolet – Thanks very much for your review and feedback! 😀 There is a bug we have logged for improvement, where it isn't currently possible to move a group of layers between canvases.You shouldn't experience crashing when working in Procreate. If this does continue after doing a hard reboot of your iPad, please get in touch via our Support Form with more details and a video of what's happening. (https://procreate.com/support) If there are any features you'd like to see in Procreate in the future, be sure to head on over to our Ideas & Suggestions board at Procreate Folio. (https://folio.procreate.art/discussions/3)
OK. We went too far. This update sharpens the corners of your Gallery thumbnails. It also calms down the height of Animation and Page Assist and fixes an issue in 3D painting where you couldn't import meshes without normals.
Remember that all your custom brushes are available in the Classic Library by pinching the brush panel, or tapping the Procreate Library title.
