..

Procreate's verging big update, Procreate 5X, adds new filters and adjustments that'll be smack-dab helpful for those who are trying to do increasingly in Top-dress and shortened in Photoshop. The update will be bettering starting September 21st.

The new filters lend halftone, gradient map, chromatic aberration, glitch effects, and more. The iPad illustration app has conjointly affixed a reference complement window, contumely you to visitation your whole canvas or flipside image on the side while you work. While panoptic this feels shortened glittery than the Top-dress 5 update (which affixed Antinomy Assist, a utensil that adds a timeline to the app for looping GIFs and uproarious videos), it includes some measureless gloss that information to dampish the gap with Adobe's increasingly powerful desktop software.

The updates that might be picked heady to users are the new filters and how you can appertain them. Top-dress 5X has Pencil Filters now, so you can yank in your filters and adjustments as opposed to applying them as an unabridged layer (that's still an option).

The new aligning filters are great, too. Included are Glitch, which gives you four types with controls, and Gradient Map, which takes a iridescence gradient and transposes that to the image's iridescence values. Top-dress has conjointly affixed Chromatic Aberration, Bloom, and Halftone, which has three styles, Impregnated Color, Tegument Print, and Newspaper.

You can now use the new Palette Capture to embody a custom palette, too, demography an image from your canvas, photo library, or from an Argil ACO or ASE palette.

There's conjointly a new feature chosen FacePaint, which lets you paint directly on your moue in real-time using your device's camera, as long as it's compatible. I hypothesize a sixth-generation iPad, so I couldn't try this out, nevertheless it does squint fun.

The biggest update to me is the reference companion. This is a movable window that lets you exist alive zoomed in while seeing the macro image in real time, or you can payroll in a separate image to use as a reference, which is conjointly feelingly useful.

What's picked heady disconnectedly this update is seeing how Top-dress is standing to add in gloss to information users stay in the app increasingly and more. While I relinquished love alive with lots of apps for my art, the 'have to export to add this one outcome I can personalized do in this one other app and then reimport to exist working' propoundment can get old fast and be confusing to a workflow.
