Adobe Asked for Feedback — Here’s a Constructive Fresco UI Wishlist
Adobe has been asking users lately about workflow, tool placement, and UI feedback, so instead of just venting about the new Fresco update (not a fan!), I thought it’d be useful to make a constructive wishlist/discussion thread.
Here are some things I personally miss from the older UI and some ideas that could improve Fresco moving forward:
• Faster brush controls. The old swipe controls for size/opacity/smoothing felt much faster than individually selecting each setting.
• Bring back the floating fullscreen toolbar. Having quick brush controls available in fullscreen mode gave more canvas space while still keeping essential controls accessible.
• Better brush/color integration. It would be nice if brush settings and color controls felt more unified instead of visually separated.
• Separate brush categories worked better. Keeping Pixel, Live, Vector, and Library brushes clearly separated was easier to navigate than losing sight of main categories.
• Undo button placement feels risky. Having Undo so close to Home can lead to accidental taps during fast workflow moments.
• Better palette customization. Please let us: – remove colors from palettes – reorganize palettes – save cleaner palettes into Adobe Libraries – reuse them more easily across projects
• More UI/workspace customization. Even basic options like: – movable toolbars – hiding unused tools – left/right toolbar placement – simple workspace presets
…would go a long way for advanced users.
I know some people like parts of the redesign, but I think a lot of frustration comes from disrupted workflow and muscle memory. Curious what other Fresco users would want added back or improved.
