Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Adobe has made its Fresco painting app completely free to compete with popular alternatives like Procreate and Clip Studio Paint. Fresco, designed for touch and stylus-supported devices, offers features like symmetry tools and animation presets, which were previously behind a subscription. By removing the paywall, Adobe aims to attract more illustrators, positioning Fresco as a viable option with desktop support and cloud storage despite competition from apps with loyal user bases.
