how to use adobe capture

Point your camera at anything, or import an image to create a rich, colorful vector.

Adobe Capture turns your iPhone and iPad into a creation machine.

Imagine looking through your camera to see patterns, vectors, and even fonts. Now imagine turning those visions into design materials to immediately use in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Fresco, and more. The power to transform the world around you into creative assets to build your projects is in the palm of your hands today.

Vectorize on the Go
Create vectors instantly with Shapes. Turn images into smooth, detailed, scalable vectors for use in logos, illustration, animation, and more. Point and shoot at your drawing or upload a photo and watch it magically transform into smooth clean lines.

Identify Typography
Find your perfect font using Adobe Capture. Take a photo of the type you like (in a magazine, on a label, a sign, anywhere!) and watch a list of similar Adobe Fonts magically appear.

Create Color Themes and Gradients
Designers, rejoice! Looking for customized color palettes? Find an inspiring gradient? Aim your camera at the scene that has the colors you want, and capture them to use in your artwork.

Build Beautiful Digital Brushes
Can't find the right brush to paint? Take a photo or use an image to create digital brushes that match your creative vision. Use your brushes in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fresco for rich painterly effects.

Craft Intricate Patterns
Capture inspiring images and generate patterns with Capture preset geometrics. Easily create beautiful, colorful patterns that fit with your creative projects by using your vector shapes with our precision pattern builder.

Generate 3D Textures
Generate realistic PBR materials for use in 3D design straight from the camera. Modify your materials for even more texture or blend the edges for seamless repeat tiling on your 3D objects.

Capture Light and Color
Collect light and hue to turn into beautiful color grading profiles for your images and videos with Looks. Record the magic of a sunset and transfer that feel to use in your photos and video projects.

Seamlessly Sync Creative Elements
All your assets save to Adobe Creative Cloud libraries. Instantly access your digital elements from your Creative Cloud account in all compatible applications.

Superb!

I was recommended on a design course to get this app, which I hadn't previously heard of, & I'm thrilled with it. Still finding my way around, but it's already produced results that I can use! You don't need a lot of graphics knowledge to use it, & it's free (though you can pay a small fee to store your work in the cloud, which I'm happy to do when I've produced enough to need it). Happy to recommend it!

images once exported are pixelated

Regardless of whether you export images from adobe capture as an svg or bitmap it produces blurry images. I've tried importing images from Adobe Illustrator, Draw and Procreate and all I've been creating is blurry patterns. I was having fun with the app until I saw the end result via export.

It would also be great to have the ability to import extra shapes once a pattern has been created but apparently if you accidentally forget to add a shape then you have to discard the whole pattern project and start again?

Image trace used to be a lot better. Hit and miss. But even if you do make a home run and produce a perfectly smooth vector , once that image is saved to shapes and imported into a pattern it suddenly pixelates even if you have vector pattern selected.

Also when it comes to exporting a pattern it's a rectangle not a square tile once opened in Adobe Illustrator?

Selection tool hasn't worked since using the app and I have a 2019 IPad Pro. So the big issue for me is the image resolution

A link to Adobe draw would be great unless I've missed that feature. If the resolution was sorted then this would be a good app

Dear user,
I sincerely apologise for the issue you are facing with our app. We have raised the concern to our development team. Will keep you posted with our latest updates.
Thanks,

Overly Adoberly

Utterly locked within the adobe ecosystem—no google drive saving, no seeming support for any non adobe apps.

In theory all fine, after all it's an adobe product. However, what can adobe possibly offer the world in terms of mobile photo editing?! Where is the competition to Afinity Photo? Even their own mix and fix haven't been updated in 6 months or so.
I don't think adobe realise That many people are stepping away from desktops and it's now becoming viable to do everything from even ones phone nowadays.
Hardware is there; software it seems is still wanting.
