If you are not familiar with Fresco, you may want to know what its practical applications are for your next design project. This book will explore how Fresco can be used as a stand-alone creative application using its various tools and panels. However, we will also look at how to import your current artwork created with other Adobe Applications like Photoshop into Fresco to enhance the design. Later we will look at Fresco's basic animation options as well. Finally, we will look at Export options so that you can use the final files for projects and share them with other Adobe applications outside of the Creative Cloud desktop file folder.  

You will discover that Fresco is a great application to add to your "tool belt" of knowledge when your clients ask that additional artistic brush effects be applied to a project. You will also see the various similarities between it, Photoshop, and Illustrator.

Who Is This Book For

This book is ideal for beginners; however, some prior experience with using Photoshop and Illustrator to create or color correct the main images before importing is useful. Some information will be briefly discussed regarding these Adobe applications as it specifically applies to Fresco.
