Procreate 4+

Version History

• 4.2.5

  29 Jan 2019
  We're back, with some big stability improvements for Procreate 4.2. Everything should feel much smoother and generally more wonderful with the addition of these fixes:
  
  - We've fixed issues with inserting and pasting images that stopped Undo from working, as well as causing crashes.
  - Exiting Selection mode with an open selection shape will no longer cause crashes.
  - Transform is now more coordinated, and can flip without crashing.
  - And, uh, there were also crashes when exporting 30-second Time-lapse Recordings.
  - Adonit styluses are not supported in Procreate on iPad Pro models, but they still shouldn't crash tho.
  - Guess what happened when you reloaded a selection mask? It'd crash. Again.
  - Drag and Drop an artwork from Gallery into another canvas, and it would create a broken file duplicate. Oops, we almost forgot: if you dropped it into the Layers menu, it would crash.
  - Rotating the horizon line in a one-point Perspective Guide was busted. It didn't crash, but give us time.
  
  We know all the crashing wasn't fun. The good news is that the crashes should be behind us now. Things should be nice and stable. Unless it crashes. But it shouldn't.

• 4.2.4

  18 Dec 2018
  Good things come in small packages. Have a little something from us for the holiday season.
  
  - Here’s the item we know was first on your list: Layer Masks made from selections won’t corrupt when reopening the canvas.
  - Layer Groups were hiding boxes from you when it wasn't necessary.
  - The Wacom Bamboo Fineline 3 felt Unsupported, so this year we're giving them the gift of love.
  - Twig brush's package was a little too small at minimum size.
  
  If you're feeling generous, all we really want is your review on the App Store.

• 4.2.3

  4 Dec 2018
  Just a Quick visit to keep you in Shape.
  
  - We've spend time strengthening our core and you should see improvements to your stability.
  - The Feather slider in Selections has been doing leg day, and can now keep up with you.
  - An Undone Selection will no longer come back to bite you like yesterday's workout.
  - Recolor gave up after a single rep. Weak.
  - We've included improvements to translations, so you can be the best version of yourself in any language.
  - Whenever you Resized, you'd lose Perspective. Now you can keep your goals in sight, no matter what size you are.
  - The Drawing Guide keypad didn't even lift.
  - Immediately moving an imported Brush Set would crash. We've told it to stretch first.
  - Whether your canvas is smol or swol, you can always look back on your progress with these fixes to Time-lapse Replay.
  - When you went full screen your bottom toolbar was always visible. We strongly believe that you should always have full control over when your bottom can be seen.
  
  Phew, hope we'll be able to walk tomorrow. Let us know how you feel with a review on the App Store.

• 4.2.2

• 4.2.1

  7 Nov 2018
  Our second massive update for 2018 brings you essential professional features, but not as you know them. Clipping Masks, Crop, inking, and Selections have all been redesigned for multitouch and Apple Pencil, and we'll change the way you create with the revolutionary QuickShape and explosive Liquify Dynamics.
  
  • Cutting Edge
  Use the best software with the best hardware. Procreate is fully compatible with the latest iOS, and all available iPads and Apple accessories.
  
  • QuickShape
  Effortlessly create shapes with any brush and without leaving your canvas. Just hold the end of your stroke for perfect ellipses, arcs, circles, rectangles, triangles and more. Change the shape type, edit the major points, or just keep on painting.
  
  • Crop and Resize
  It's never too late to find the perfect composition. Reframe the focus of your artwork with intuitive touch controls or precise numerical input.
  
  • Clipping Masks
  Reimagine your workflow with the power of Clipping Masks. Control the visibility of layers based on the content of another layer for ultimate flexibility.
  
  • Gallery Preview
  Showcase your artwork with Preview. Use Select mode or just pinch outward to view your artworks in full screen without opening them. Tap through your artworks, or swipe for a slideshow.
  
  • Ink Different
  Specifically for comic artists and inkers, we’ve rebuilt Procreate’s stroke handling to give you precise control over the shape and size of your stroke taper. Perfect your strokes with customisable pressure curves for size and opacity, built directly into every single brush.
  
  • Improved Selections
  Use the new Shape Selections to quickly isolate elliptical or rectangular areas of your artwork, and Feather any selection for a soft edge and beautiful blending.
  
  • Liquify Dynamics
  Challenge your creative limits with these groundbreaking additions to Liquify. Exclusive Edge and Crystals brushes add control and spontaneity, and you can enhance any adjustment with mind-bending Distortion and Momentum.
  
  As always we've also kept polishing all your favourite features, including rotation and interpolation options in Transform, Duplicate for Brush Sets, and the ability to Drag and Drop layers between canvases.
  
  
  4.2.1: Here's a bit of polish for your shiny new update:
  
  - If you’d ever connected a third-party stylus to Procreate and you’re now using Apple Pencil, painting was broken forever. We’re sorry. It’s fixed now.
  - Several fixes to Selections
  - Polished up the new Transform rotation node
  - Changing Grid Size in 2D and Isometric Guides now actually works
  - Fixed an issue where Time-lapse would drop segments when leaving Procreate
  
  We're still working tirelessly to bring you the features you've asked for and never seen before. Tell us how you feel about Procreate by leaving a review on the App Store, and stay alert for more exciting announcements.

  12 Sep 2018
  We're just dropping in with some compatibility fixes, but there's a big update coming soon. We're sorry to Crop these release notes short, and we don't wish to Mask our intentions, but before we Taper off, we want you to know that we're sure the features we've Selected for our next major release will be a real Feather in your cap.

• 4.1.3

  9 Aug 2018
  Please enjoy this touchy feely Procreate update.
  
  - Recolor is now not just a one-time deal - touch it again.
  - Some Brush Settings sliders are now much more open about going both ways.
  - The sidebar sliders are more responsive, and won't ignore your desperate calls. U up?
  - The Gallery was showing an old thumbnail, but only if it was an imported or default artwork and only for the first item. Weird.
  - We've greatly improved the experience of transforming the fifteen thousand, eight hundred and seventy-fourth pixel on second-generation iPad Pros.
  - The "Global Touch" option in Gesture Controls was sending mixed signals, as in fact it meant the opposite of what it said.
  - Actions menu buttons will light up every time you touch.
  - Everyone likes to bang, but with these new fixes you should crash less.
  
  We’d love to hear what you think of Procreate. Find @procreate on social media, or leave a review on the App Store.

• 4.1.2

  25 Jul 2018
  As the Savage offices go under construction, Procreate is also getting a lick of paint and a little work on the foundations.
  
  - The exterior is getting a facelift with several improvements to Light Interface.
  - When you entered Filters from Transform it would completely forget why it went in there. Now it no longer stands there looking blankly at you.
  - We’ve upgraded our signage: the Gallery Stack return arrow no longer disappears.
  - Straight lines are important to a good structure, so we've improved your QuickLine experience.
  - Your tool should no longer run out of battery just as you’re screwing in that last screw.
  - Measure twice, cut once: Warp Transform is now more accurate by half a pixel.
  - Everyone is welcome in Procreate, so we've studied up on our translations, and Transform mode is much faster when using Asian languages.
  - Only a foolish person builds their house upon sand, so there are many stability improvements.
  
  Now you can keep filling Procreate with art and make it your home. If you’d like to let us know what you think of the renovations, leave a review on the App Store.

• 4.0.10

  20 Apr 2018
  We're fast approaching some really exciting releases. This is one last stop to pick up the new iPad, and keep your engines running smoothly.
  
  • Sometimes your safety features would fail you and Undo would stop working. It's important to us that you feel safe.
  • Layers sometimes merged without looking, losing layer opacity and layer masks. We've taught them to check their mirrors.
  • Inserted images will no longer cause corrupted or blank exports.
  • If you quit the app while within a document the Gallery thumbnail will still update.
  • Like a child forgotten at sports practice, inserted image layers were occasionally left behind in imported PSDs. We promise it won't happen again. Yes, we can stop for icecream.
  • Galleries jammed with artworks will now load as fast as that really fast car you like, instead of another slow kind of car that you don't like.
  • Big things in the pasteboard won't cause roadblocks in Create Canvas.
  
  We're working on some hot modifications to Procreate, and can't wait to greatly enhance your ride. We'd love to hear about your journey so far, so please leave a review on the App Store.

  26 Dec 2017
  Here are a few more tweaks, just in time for the holidays:
  
  - With the new Shape Filtered switch, brush shapes come in smooth or crunchy.
  - Locked layers are back for PSD import, along with support for all languages in layer names.
  - We've squashed a bug with layer merge, so the bottom won't fall out when you pinch.
  
  As always we've got huge things in the works for 2018, and the first one is massive but also small: Procreate Pocket 2!

• 4.0.7

  3 Nov 2017
  Here's a quick update to restore the correct background and title colors to all your swatch palettes.
  
  In case you missed it, here's what we changed in the last update:
  
  • You no longer need to live on a prayer when importing massive sized JPGs, odd file formats, and obscure PSDs.
  • We fixed a crash that sometimes happened if you had an appetite for distortion.
  • You can now safely use 'Add to Procreate' after choosing questionable files.
  • If you've purchased the Earth brushes set, they're now back in black.
  • We have improved the Calligraphy Set translations for Italian, French, Arabic or Turkish customers.
  • The new Grade slider allows you to soften wet brushes for new effects. Looks so good makes a grown man cry.
  • No longer visually age waiting for the Actions menu to open.
  • The new Color panel was back-to-front for right-to-left languages.
  • Quicklines with Wet Mix brushes now don't look completely different to the original stroke (no, it won't do that).
  • For first generation iPad Pro customers, you can once again rest your palm without fear of lag bringing you to your sha na na na na knees, knees.
  
  We're happy to report iOS 11.1 resolves the freezing issue. Huge thanks to all of you that helped diagnose it.

• 4.0.4

  13 Oct 2017
  Just when you think you’ve caught them all, there’s another update!
  
  Whilst we continue to investigate the freezing issue that some customers are experiencing, here are a few updates and fixes that couldn't wait.
  
  - When Procreate encountered a GPU error it would crash in order to preserve your data. Now Procreate is clever enough to recover itself from GPU errors.
  
  - Some customers were experiencing corrupted images when exporting. If this was you, next time you open the artwork it will automatically be fixed and ready to export.
  
  - For people on iPad Air 1, iPad mini 2, and iPad mini 3, you can now actually see the Curves adjustment interface. No need to grope in the dark for nodes.
  
  - Time-lapse has been freed from the time loop. It's hard to explain. Timey wimey... stuff.
  
  - The new Darken mode wouldn't let you cross over to the Dark Side when exporting, but we've brought balance to the Force and you can import and export Darken modes to Photoshop.
  
  Before we go, all of the kind words and feedback for Procreate 4 has been really appreciated <3. If there's something you'd like to see added or fixed then get in touch! Let's talk on forums.procreate.art or send it through to support@procreate.art.

• 4.0.3

  8 Oct 2017
  A wild patch appeared!
  
  - Invert Layer Masks, fill them, and make them from Selections. Go nuts.
  
  - Give your artwork a gritty reboot with the new Darken blend mode.
  
  - Once you've adjusted your Background Layer colour, you can actually return to your Layers afterwards, because the Done button is always there, instead of just when it felt like it.
  
  - We've added a new Tilt Size Compression switch to give you even more shading control. Choose whether the brush compresses based on the angle of your Apple Pencil and direction of stroke.
  
  - Sometimes Transform wouldn't share its tools with you. We taught Transform how to be a team player.
  
  - Now when you ColorDrop you can actually drop colour, instead of checking out your latest notifications.
  
  - Updating from Procreate 1 to Procreate 4 went about as well as Back to the Future, but now the timeline has been repaired.
  
  - We figured you should probably be able to see your brush size when you adjust it, no matter how much you zoom your canvas.
  
  - Choosing a blend mode category in Spanish no longer requires dancing the Fandango.
  
  - We've made some drastic improvements to stability, stomping many reported crashes.
  
  - We know some of you are still freezing, and we promise we won't leave you to die like Kate Winslet. We're working around the clock to get to the bottom of this, and we won't rest until we've found a fix.
  
  Thank you for your support, and for using Procreate 4. Get in touch with us through our website or social networks! We'd love to hear from you.

• 4.0.2

  24 Sep 2017
  This is Procreate 4. The biggest update to Procreate ever. Powered by a new and incredibly advanced painting engine, packed full of game changing iOS 11 features, and combined with an elegant, powerful interface. It's the same Procreate you know and love: rebuilt, refined, and revolutionized.
  
  
  • Astonishing new painting engine
  Built with technologies like Metal 2, Swift 4, and Accelerate, Silica M has been designed to extract the full power of iPad to provide incredible color depth, fluid and accurate painting, and stunningly fast performance.
  
  • All new Smudge
  Use any brush to smudge and mix paint with extraordinary speed and fidelity. With the power of the Silica M engine, blending colors in Procreate is now an incredible 250 times more accurate.
  
  • Wet painting
  Wet yourself with Procreate's new Metal-powered engine that makes mixing paint incredibly accurate and blazingly fast. Procreate now gives you the ability to mix and combine paint on the canvas in all new ways for stunning texture and color blending.
  
  • iOS11 Drag and Drop
  File management can be a real drag, but no more! If you need to download a custom brush, just drag it into Procreate. Need to quickly email a layer? Just drag it straight into Mail. Need to back up your work? Grab all your artworks from the Gallery and drop them into your favorite cloud service. It's going to completely change how you work with Procreate.
  
  • Layer Masks
  Everyone looks more attractive in a mask (that's why they have those parties) and so will your layer. Use masks to non-destructively erase parts of a layer, so you can modify your image without losing any of the original content, and you won't know who you're going home with.
  
  • New Brushes interface
  The all new brushes interface gives you instant access to your entire brush library. Navigate hundreds of brushes easily, and instantly import or share multiple brushes at once with iOS 11 Drag & Drop.
  
  • Brush Blend Modes
  You asked for it (about 4 years ago) and you finally have it. All existing blend modes can be applied to any brush; plus a brand new mode for those who like to paint from Behind.
  
  • Bleed setting in Brushes
  Using the pressure of your Apple Pencil, Bleed lets you control how much of your brush texture hits the canvas for sharper strokes than ever before.
  
  • Better Sketching
  Using Apple Pencil Tilt with Sketching brushes has a new level of realism and responsiveness, and all Procreate's drawing tools have been refined for a smoother and more realistic experience.
  
  • Rebuilt color interface
  All four color selection modes have been neatly ordered into tabs, allowing you to quickly jump between picking colors, managing swatches, and entering precise color values.
  
  • Redesigned Adjustments
  Now you can actually see your canvas while performing complex image adjustments with the new interface design.
  
  • All new Gallery
  The all-new Procreate 4 Gallery works seamlessly with the new iOS11 Files App to instantly access your files across all of your locations. It's easy to manage thousands of canvases, scroll with blazing speed, and neatly order your artwork into Stacks. And this is just the beginning. We've got lots more in store.
  
  • P3 Wide Color
  Cause pleasurable discomfort to your eyeballs with extremely saturated artworks. Procreate now fully supports P3 Wide Colour on compatible devices, including import, export, and video.
  
  • Hundreds of refinements
  Nearly every pixel in Procreate has been polished to perfection to make your workflow faster and easier. Including the new AirPlay Canvas feature, a better Copy Paste menu, more canvas information, import and export support for TIFF, significant improvements to performance and stability, and over two hundred other features and refinements, Procreate 4 is everything you love but better.
  
  If you're enjoying Procreate, we'd love you to leave a review on the App Store. We'd like to tell you more of all the thousands of changes we've made, but we're running out of sp

  19 Sep 2017
  This is Procreate 4. The biggest update to Procreate ever. Powered by a new and incredibly advanced painting engine, packed full of game changing iOS 11 features, and combined with an elegant, powerful interface. It's the same Procreate you know and love: rebuilt, refined, and revolutionised.
  
  
  • Astonishing new painting engine
  Built with technologies like Metal 2, Swift 4, and Accelerate, Silica M has been designed to extract the full power of iPad to provide incredible colour depth, fluid and accurate painting, and stunningly fast performance.
  
  • All new Smudge
  Use any brush to smudge and mix paint with extraordinary speed and fidelity. With the power of the Silica M engine, blending colours in Procreate is now an incredible 250 times more accurate.
  
  • Wet painting
  Wet yourself with Procreate's new Metal-powered engine that makes mixing paint incredibly accurate and blazingly fast. Procreate now gives you the ability to mix and combine paint on the canvas in all new ways for stunning texture and colour blending.
  
  • iOS11 Drag and Drop
  File management can be a real drag, but no more! If you need to download a custom brush, just drag it into Procreate. Need to quickly email a layer? Just drag it straight into Mail. Need to back up your work? Grab all your artworks from the Gallery and drop them into your favourite cloud service. It's going to completely change how you work with Procreate.
  
  • Layer Masks
  Everyone looks more attractive in a mask (that's why they have those parties) and so will your layer. Use masks to non-destructively erase parts of a layer, so you can modify your image without losing any of the original content, and you won't know who you're going home with.
  
  • New Brushes interface
  The all new brushes interface gives you instant access to your entire brush library. Navigate hundreds of brushes easily, and instantly import or share multiple brushes at once with iOS 11 Drag & Drop.
  
  • Brush Blend Modes
  You asked for it (about 4 years ago) and you finally have it. All existing blend modes can be applied to any brush; plus a brand new mode for those who like to paint from Behind.
  
  • Bleed setting in Brushes
  Using the pressure of your Apple Pencil, Bleed lets you control how much of your brush texture hits the canvas for sharper strokes than ever before.
  
  • Better Sketching
  Using Apple Pencil Tilt with Sketching brushes has a new level of realism and responsiveness, and all Procreate’s drawing tools have been refined for a smoother and more realistic experience.
  
  • Rebuilt colour interface
  All four colour selection modes have been neatly ordered into tabs, allowing you to quickly jump between picking colours, managing swatches, and entering precise colour values.
  
  • Redesigned Adjustments
  Now you can actually see your canvas while performing complex image adjustments with the new interface design.

  This update fixes a crash for users running older versions of iOS 10. If you hadn't updated yet: welcome to our smallest update ever!
  
  Jam packed with a single feature: this release is fully optimized for the new iPad Pro's ProMotion technology with a refresh rate of 120Hz. Procreate feels blazingly fast and silky smooth.
  
  Because we love you even if you don't have a new iPad Pro, we've also included improvements for Adonit users, and support for the Wacom Bamboo Sketch and new Wacom Bamboo Fineline.
  
  Though this update is little, keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks. We've got a very special release coming in the Fall, and we'll be telling you all about it very soon.
