What's New In This Version:
Behold, our biggest update of 2016! Procreate 3.1 grants you amazing new powers and abilities that will make your artwork flow like magic!

● Introducing Streamline
Procreate's Streamline technology stabilizes your strokes for perfect precision curves and flourishes. Watch as your strokes correct themselves before your very eyes. When people see you inking with Streamline, they'll think you're a wizard. Like a real wizard, not a Microsoft one.

● Quick Menu
Today we present to you the unreasonably powerful and customizable Quick Menu. Access your favourite features right on the canvas while you're painting. Choose brushes, flip the canvas, add a new layer – all of these and many more await your command!

● Automatic Selection
Select similar areas by tapping and dragging to threshold. You can combine automatic with freehand selections to get exactly what you need. We could call it your magic wand, but that would be underselling it.


● Better Canvas Creation
By popular demand, you can now create a canvas in pixels, millimetres, centimetres, or inches. Every canvas you create is automatically saved as a preset, so there's no need to enter the same numbers over and over. It's especially useful for setting up projects for printing, because apparently that still happens sometimes.

● Modify button
The new Modify button on the sidebar is a super fast way to activate Eyedropper. Hold the button and tap the canvas to instantly pick a colour and continue painting.

● Advanced Gesture Controls
Tailor Procreate in brand new ways with the Advanced Gesture Control panel. Only you decide what awakens when you long hold, use the Modify button, or touch with your Pencil, finger, or other stylus.

● Apple Pencil Tilt customization
Customize the angle that the tilt brush behaviour kicks in. This gives you even more freedom in creating amazing brushes and celebrates the wonderful diversity in Pencil grip.

● 4K video recording
Leave your audience spellbound with a Instant Replay cinematic experience. Our new playback technology records video up to 4K on iPad Air 2 or newer. Procreate still records this monstrous resolution completely in the background without any lag.

● PDF export
Export share-friendly PDFs at your desired quality setting. You can also select multiple artworks or groups in the gallery, and export them all into one PDF.

● Duplicate Selection into a layer
There's a new button in the Selection toolbar so you can instantly take your selection and add it to a new layer. You like that, huh?

● New Rapid Flip Canvas
Flipping the canvas used to zoom out and do a silly animation and you would lose your place. Please accept our sincere apologies, as well as, you know, it not doing that anymore.

● It's all about the little things
Our software alchemists have brewed many other enchanting details into Procreate 3.1. There's improvements to Early Access Perspective Guide, Pressure Curve, the ability to paste above current layer, and a host of bug fixes and interface improvements.

You can purchase Procreate from the App Store for $5.99.
