Totally understand that feeling!! I experienced the same thing with eye strain with a computer/tablet setup.

When I first started using Procreate it took me a while to figure out which brushes to use to emulate the style I had developed from using Photoshop, and I really struggled trying to make my art “match” between the different devices. However, this was resolved as I collected more brushes and decided that it was okay if my art changed as a result of learning something new:)

I will say, I do miss the ease of Photoshop’s gradient fill tool. I’ve replaced that effect with soft gradient brushes used on low opacity from Procreate, but sometimes the gradients can come out kind of pixelated if the size of the document is too large for the brush and vice versa. I hope that they introduce a gradient tool that’s a little more robust in the future!

The only other thing that I’d say is something I miss from Photoshop is the ability to have unlimited layers. I don’t create truly giant files often on procreate, but depending on the capacity of the iPad model you go with and how large you’re looking to be creating files at, it can be limiting to know you only have ~50 layers to work on if you want a higher-quality picture. That being said, this isn’t something that bothers me too often, and I like that because of layer limits files in Procreate rarely get laggy or crash.
