Adobe — Fresco

Adobe Fresco is a raster-based digital painting and vector drawing application developed by Adobe Inc., first released in 2019. Named after the Italian Renaissance painting technique al fresco (painting on wet plaster), the software emphasizes a natural, fluid creative process. Unlike traditional digital art tools that separate pixel-based (Photoshop) and math-based (Illustrator) workflows, Fresco uniquely integrates both, with a special emphasis on simulating real-world media through its proprietary "Live Brushes."
