Procreate has a new update. Procreate 5.3. What is new? And is it worth it to download this new version?
Welcome to Stayf Draws, I am Stefan de Groot and I will show you what’s new in Procreate 5.3
To update to Procreate 5.3, you first need to update to iPadOS 16 or higher
Otherwise you can not update Procreate 5.3
It is a tradition that Savage Interactive will release its updates along with the new iPadOs or new features of the new iPad. Pro This time they integrated the hover function. Basically it is a feature you can hover over your screen and then already see the brush you have selected.
I can not show you anything of the hover function, because I don’t have a new iPad Pro. I am showing you the Procreate 5.3.1 update on an iPad Pro 12.9 inch 5th generation from 2021.
Hover
So what is the hover function?
With the hover function you can now see a full-color preview before beginning your stroke, and see how you’re going to erase even before hitting the canvas. You can then adjust the size and opacity while seeing the full-color preview.
With the new iPad Pro from 2022 you can now hover over your screen and see a full-color preview from your brushes, eraser or selection tool before you touch the screen with your Apple Pencil.
I am showing you images that are available on the Procreate site. In order to create the brush cursor preview Savage interactive has upgraded the Brush cursor. When you select the brush cursor in Actions and the Prefs you see the difference. When you start drawing or painting, there is a bit of a lag in the performance of the brushes. Especially when you are sketching you will see a tiny point at the end of your stroke. Hopefully they will change that in a new update. Because it is a bit of a nuisance.
New Color DropThe one new feature I can show you is the new Color Drop.
This is a great upgrade to increase your workflow. Now you can keep dropping in colors with out sliding it from the color menu. First drag in a color . Then on the top a blue button appears Continue filling. When you press it you can continue dropping in coolers without dragging the coolers from the color menu. Just touch the sections you want to fill . In the top menu you will see Color Drop with a blue check mark. This means that continued Color drop is active. You can even choose different colours from the color menu and keep dropping in the colors. It acts more like the paint bucket of photoshop or other graphic apps. When you elect another tool the continued color drop will deactivate.
Conclusion
Procreate 5.3 is not a big update if you don’t have the new iPad Pro from 2022. I am not sure if I would like to use the hover function, but to me it is as useless as the features like face paint and
The 3D paint function. I see that Procreate has a price increase of $ 4.00. It is now available on the AppStore for $ 15.99. Luckily you only have to buy Procreate once. All of the updates are for free. Let me know in the comments what you think of the new update and if you have the new iPad Pro, do you think the hover function. Is worth it?
