Adobe has made its digital drawing app, Fresco, available for download through the Microsoft Store. Only x64 version available.
Adobe Fresco is now officially available for download from the Microsoft Store, giving users a new way to access Adobe’s digital drawing application. The application was previously only available through the Adobe website. The Store version is still provided and managed by Adobe, meaning it’s not actually hosted on the Microsoft platform, the Store page is just a front end that still connects you to Adobe servers, still prompts you to install the main Adobe Creative Cloud app, which then installs Fresco .
One of Adobe’s more recent creative tools, Fresco is a digital drawing and painting application designed for touch devices first and foremost. In fact, it’s available on the iPad and iPhone, but not on macOS, so it’s really meant for touch screens, even on Windows 11.
According to Adobe, Fresco has the largest and most advanced collection of brushes in the world, with thousands of brushes available in the Adobe library. Painting in Fresco is meant to simulate real life, so when you use watercolors, you’ll see the color mix in real time. You can also paint with oils and use a variety of other tools to create the artwork you want. Fresco supports layers, layer masks, and other features you would expect in a graphic design tool. Since it is part of Adobe Creative Cloud, it also connects to assets from Photoshop or Illustrator.
Plus, in addition to sharing your finished artwork, Fresco has built-in live streaming capabilities so you can share your knowledge with others more easily. Alternatively, you can export a timeline of your drawing and painting process when you’re done.
However, what this version of Fresco doesn’t have is support for arm-based devices like the Surface Pro 9 with 5G or the Surface Pro X. This is something Adobe initially promised back in 2019 when the Surface Pro X was announced, and after three years, still not ready. Recently, at the Snapdragon Summit, the company reiterated its intention to release an Arm version in 2023, so hopefully it won’t be a long wait.
For now, if you have an x64 Windows tablet or convertible, you can check out Adobe Fresco using the link below.
