Photoshop vs Procreate - 5 reasons to switch to Procreate 

If using the perspective tool is cheating, then so is using rulers and plotting points.

Perspective tool is never a cheat to any Artist. SKetch Up 3D is one of the useful tool for quick layout. Just that Procreate would be super headache and tedious to accomplish a complex projects when there's feedback from clients. You would spent more time in figure out how to merge items smartly more than creating later. For personal fun without modification in further, we could really create fun art with Procreate. And IPad Pro is the one to invest for more layers in Procreate. For long term learning prospect, Adobe Photoshop still secured a stronger choice for complex art project. Anyhow, i feel more comfortable workflow with Adobe Photoshop for longer hours. Personally, Ipad + Procreate maximum is 1 hour routine then it got my eyes strained, neck pain faster than working on a computer monitor. For the sake's of our health as a professional artist, bigger screen to work with is always one of the major concern despite the software comparison. Yea, the full Adobe Photoshop experience still haven't comes into Ipad world for so many years.

Great video. Thank you!

I have photoshop on my laptop and I hate the menu system. I'm getting an iPad and Procreate later today, and I can't wait.

Procreate reminds me of the old paint shop pro, before Corel bought it! Intuitive layout!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Informative. Thank you.

What do you do to avoid back and neck pain during working on Ipad, because when I was using Photoshop I could left the screen up and comfort my arms but I couldn’t do something similar with Ipad use

Been looking into getting an iPad just for procreate after using photoshop for the last >3 years. I think this is the video that will make me go through with it 🙌🏾

I love seeing pros make the switch 😌✨ Mostly because it’s validating 😆

This video is really helpful because I'm flirting with the idea of buying an ipad just for procreate. I use photoshop (because a one semester graphic design class required I buy a year of creative cloud) and it's pretty tedious for me to draw with. Also it kinda sucks that my drawing tablet must be plugged into my pc to run PS. Procreate might be easier to work with since it's more portable.

how do i switch to procreate on windows?

When I was in art college we had a guest come in who did environmental drawings and he had pictures of this big wooden rig he set up in his studio using rulers and chalk lines to get the right perspectives without having to put too much thought into it. The perspective grid is just another tool that has been innovated for digital use. I mean I don't wanna snap a chalk line across my ipad screen. 😅

For me, the main "selling point" switching from PS to ProCreate is that I can bring my iPad with me very easily everywhere without any setup. PS layering is better, and you have heavy image manipulation that has some transfer to digital art, but I only use that 5% of the time, and without it I get to really hone my drawing skills instead- or even new ideas on how to do things. I love to draw, and being able to just pick up my iPad and pencil on a train, or wherever is just so much more intuitive.

I've really been wanting to switch to an ipad and procreate now that my laptop needs to be replaced. But im doubting so much. An ipad is about 600 bucks than a laptop would cost me but i'm disabled and can't draw at a desk anymore and an ipad would allow me to draw in bed and on the couch more easily. The only thing i'm scared of is the ipad not going to be able to handle the big sizes of my canvas and artwork. Because i heard something about reduced layers?

So procreate can be an alternative for photoshop ¿

bought an m2 11in ipad pro. tried cheaping out on drawing programs by using fresco, sketchbook, ibis paint x, etc. they're really nice. they do most things you need. but damn is procreate nice... uninstalled my old drawing software and nevet looked back

Amazing video…thanks for sharing so much information…….if you work on procreate for two weeks continuously, I am sure you will forget photoshop. Procreate is amazing.

what are your thoughts on Adobe fresco?

I only find one FLAW, there is no FLOW brush setting to be used like in PS. the rest is better. Do you have any tweak for better use of FLOW or something for it?

Outside of people working at studios, I can recall anyone using Photoshop anymore.

Personally, I believe using the perspective tool it's an advantage. It helps your eye see perpective better. Now, you can also practice using it from the iPad & redraw that perpective in a piece of paper to create muscle memory & learn. Regardless of using the tool, there's a limited time we have on earth & do what we love. If that helps you create the art from your imagination, go for it, Jay. - thank you so much for your video

hah, to anyone saying interface don't matter, i would say -> thanks, I was not aware that what you do don't matter!

It’s so funny…I hate procreate 😂 I find it intuitive in the most basic forms, but for me it lacks so much when compared to Photoshop. And after using both I find they are not to be compared. Photoshop is much more than a digital drawing app and offers way more.

You cannot compare procreate and photoshop... doesn't make any sense. Two very different softwares that does very different things.

Ahh yes escape Adobe by switching to an apple only software. The price of the apple product you need to run procreate kinda outweighs the price of procreate itself.
