line smoothing in Adobe Draw?

[seanh67]

Why hasn't line smoothing been included in Adobe Draw?  It was a great feature in Ideas.

[Ko.Maruyama · Accepted solution]

There is stroke smoothing.  You can find it in preferences. (While Drawing / After Drawing). (click on the pen/app icon for preference panel)

You may want to change to "After Drawing" to see the line value change.

I'll take a look this evening.  Thanks for your response.

I can not find line smoothing. I went in preferences and there is only setting for tool bar and reset coachmarks and dialogs feature.?

I have Android version of Adobe Draw. Thanks

There is no toggle in Draw for Android because it smooths lines by default. The reason there's a toggle in Draw for iOS is because people who used Adobe Ideas, before they began using Draw, were used to having the Smoothing toggle in the app, so we left it in.

I hope that helps.

I think it is not good for android users...i hope will be same preferences like for IOS ??

If smoothing is on by default, it really doesn't work well. Not having this option as a toggle on android is a little insulting to be honest. I want to see the line snap sharp like the iOS version. I'd even buy the app to have that option if it were possible.

So you left the feature OUT of the android one completely? why should a feature be exclisve to only ipad?

Its almost FIVE YEARS after this post date and my android version still has no option to turn it on AFTER drawing. 

what a garbage, inconsistent company. clearly favoring apple fanboys instead of just creating a feature across all platforms. 

[seanh67]

I basically have abandoned this software largely for the fact that I can't find this feature. I was looking at it again today on my phone because I just ordered an ipad pro with the apple pencil.  I went to the regular preferences (the gear) and found nothing about line smoothing, so then I went to each brush, clicked for the editing panel and then clicked the 3 slider icon at the bottom, I can adjust roundness, angle, taper, size, pressure, velocity - but no line smoothing.  What am I missing?  Thanks.

start in the main project view without opening any projects. Then choose Settings > Preferences > Stroke Smoothing. Note that this is always on, it just allows you to choose whether smoothing happens during or after the stroke. See screen shots below.

I find this feature stressful... I've seen other apps implement this so much better. It would be awesome if smoothness was an adjustable brush setting and not an application setting. There are times you want to be able to make a hard corner or control the angle much better.

I get very frustrated when I'm drawing and end up with a nice line and then lift up and the line take a smooth completely different shape. And then when you switch it to while drawing... it isn't smooth enough in some instances.  A toggle control or adjustable strength of smoothness would be much more useful instead of an app setting, IMO.

Hi MotoEd.

We do get a number of requests to move the stroke-smoothing toggle from the main Settings panel to the Brush Settings panel. I don't know whether moving that setting is something that's being considered, but I do know the product team is looking for ways to improve/enhance stroke smoothing in Draw.

I'll most certainly share your request/comments with the Draw team.

Thanks for taking the time to post.

Is there anyway you could make an adjustment for smoothing so people with shaking hands can boost it up to enjoy your app more? I think more people would use it.

[glennh82238230]

Just a slider from 0 to 100

[Sue Garibaldi]

Hi Glenn.

The Draw team is actually currently discussing/considering ways to enhance stroke smoothing. I don't know at this point what the timeline is, or what the solution will be, but I would be happy to share your request with the team.

Thanks for taking the time to post.

Is there a way to turn if off?  It's annoying when you draw something and immediately changes the look of it. Sometimes I need sharp angles between strokes and smoothing makes them round...

[Sue Garibaldi]

Hi Monomono.

No, I'm sorry, it's not possible right now to toggle stroke smoothing on and off (it's only possible to set a preference for during/after creating a stroke).

However, as I mentioned above, this is something the team is currently reviewing.

So this option not available for android?

[Sue Garibaldi]

There is no toggle (to change stroke smoothing from after to during) in the Android version of Draw.

I'm just being honest, that's really not fair. It ticks me off because I can't enjoy the smoothing because I'm on android. in the future will it be avalible for android?

[Sue Garibaldi]

Hi Sgt.KittyCap.

I'm sorry, I don't believe there are any plans to include this toggle in the Android version of Draw but I will share your comments with the product team.

Hello, and you can please add this feature for Android in the updates? It's comfortable!

Maksim.

[Sue Garibaldi]

Hi Maksim,

This is a popular request... However, I'm not certain there are any plans to add the line smoothing preference to the Android version of Draw but I will certainly submit it to the Draw for Android team.

Thanks for taking the time to post.

It's absolutely essential. Otherwise we may as well just use another app.

Just got the package for the entire year. $240 worth, highly disappointed there’s no line smoothing in my Adobe Sketch app on IPad. I havent graduated to all the extra bells and whistles yet, but this feels like such a basic feature by now. As good as Adobe is, I’m Definitely having buyers remorse. Back to ArtRage if I have to.
