In the end, it keeps your canvas uncluttered, though occasionally I'd like the option to keep two menus open simultaneously. There are no tear-off menus like in Fresco. After just a little probing, it all makes perfect sense. Finally, at the top left are the robust Editing Tools which include: Gallery (to manage work) Actions (for sharing and interface settings) Adjustments (for color, gradient maps, pro FX, sharpen/blur, clone, and liquify) Selections (selection modification and use) and Transform (scaling and warp meshing).Įverything is clean and simple. Second is the sidebar where you find Modification Tools: brush size and opacity sliders, square Modify/Eyedropper button, and Undo-Redo arrows. Each tool has many options within its own menu.
It has everything you need to begin: Paint, Smudge, Erase, Layers, and Color. First, the top right of the tableau houses the Painting Tools. Procreate's minimalist interface, which you can hide if you like, has three main sections. Therefore, it's important to be aware of how much storage you have available on your device and to consider exporting any work you want to keep to iCloud or another cloud storage service, or to an external drive. Should you remove the app, your artwork is gone, too. Files are stored locally within the Gallery in the app's home screen, but only while the app stays on your iPad. Procreate doesn't offer cloud storage or backup. For this review, I tested the latest version available: 5.2.9. Procreate 5.3 will require Apple's M2 chip. Procreate works with Apple iPad running iPad OS 14.4 or later and a first- or second-generation Apple Pencil, depending on your iPad model. A few favorites are Cosmic Brush (free $24.99 for Premium), Flame Painter for iPad ($2.99), iOrnament Pro (free 99 cents for Pro version), Silk 2 ($2.99), and 3D Brush for availability). You can find other brilliant niche drawing apps, some at very reasonable prices, for creating effects that few other apps can. Some examples are CorelDRAW Standard ($299), Corel Photo-Paint (part of a suite at $549 or for a subscription price of $269 per year), Affinity Designer ($19.99 for the iPad version), and Affinity Photo ($19.99 for the iPad version).
Several other notable drawing and painting apps are desktop programs with a tablet version, and they tend to be more expensive.
Procreate's main competitor is Adobe Fresco, which is free for the basic app and $120 per year for Premium.
