You can even create your own brush using Adobe Capture. And Fresco includes vector brushes, which create clean, crisp, and infinitely scaleable lines and shapes. Photoshop brushes can do things real-world brushes can’t, such as building stamps from shapes like stars, people, trees, or grass. You can use all your favorite Photoshop brushes directly in Fresco, and get access to thousands of additional brushes created by famous digital brush maker Kyle Webster. Live Brushes are something that no other drawing and painting app can match. And you can mix different oil colors together to create a varied swirl of color that no digital color wheel could ever provide. With an oil Live Brush, you can slather on a thick coat of paint and see the ridges and brush strokes that give the painting dimension. You can even recreate painting with water to dilute some colors and encourage tints to mix. Use red and yellow next to each other and they’ll naturally blend into orange at the border. When you paint with a watercolor Live Brush, you’ll see the color bloom into adjacent areas of the paper.

But this takes time, and (if you’re like me and you pan and zoom constantly) you end up having to do this often, which kinda defeats the purpose of automating it in the first place.Īnd really, if the general consensus of the Krita development team and user base is that a request like this doesn’t fetch enough return on the investment, I can completely understand that.The result is Live Brushes, which use the artificial intelligence of Adobe Sensei to recreate the behavior of oils and watercolors in an amazingly lifelike way. There are workarounds, sure - at 100% zoom, I can mark off the center line, horizon line, and the vanishing points, and if I need to pan or zoom then I can adjust the ruler back to roughly the correct place. If you’ve set up a perspective ruler and started drawing, you have to be careful not to pan or zoom the viewer or the rulers will then be placed and sized incorrectly relative to your document.

Yes, the tools all technically work after hooking LN to Krita, but the perspective rulers are static and keep their absolute size and placement regardless of changes to the viewer. When you pan and zoom, the rulers keep their size and placement relative to the document, which means your center line, horizon line, VPs, tick distance, etc., are always spot on, regardless of changes to the viewer. With the plugin installed, the user experience with perspective rulers in PS is very different than it is in Krita.

If you’re not familiar with the Lazy Nezumi plugin for Photoshop, I can understand why you’d feel this way.
