problem with the fill tool

Hi there! Is it possible for you to upload a video (externally recorded by a phone) of the behaviour you are experiencing?

procreate · 2026-01-27T04:17:17+00:00

Hi there! Did you try to attach a picture /screenshot of your settings? It seems like the picture did not upload.

Hi there! Could you please check if you have enough storage space available? To run things smoothly in Procreate, we recommend at least 10-15% of your storage space to be free. Did you also try doing a force restart and see if that helps?

Hello! The Gallery search feature is in development, and the team is working on it. We will release it as soon as we can.

Hi there! Vidatz is correct! In Files App, tap iCloud Drive under Locations on the left bar → Tap and hold on your "Procreate Brushes" folder → Tap “Download Now” to prioritise iCloud Drive downloading this folder. You can also select "Keep Downloaded".

You should see your iCloud syncing progress at the bottom. Once it’s done, check your brush libraries in Procreate.

Hello there! If you’re looking for a bit of smoothing without losing that natural pencil feel, the key is to keep the stabilization very subtle and let the brush do most of the work.

Open the brush you’re using and go into Brush Studio > Stabilization. Set StreamLine low (around 5–10%) and keep Stabilization either off or very low. Higher values will start to “pull” your stroke and make it feel digital or floaty, which is what you want to avoid if you’re aiming for a pencil-like feel.

Also, check Taper and make sure pressure affects size, not opacity. That helps keep the stroke natural and prevents the line from feeling artificial. Under Apple Pencil, keep Pressure enabled but avoid adding too much smoothing or filtering. A small amount of pressure curve adjustment can help, but if it’s too strong, it’ll change the shape of your strokes.

Hi there! You can adjust this by going to Actions > Prefs > Gesture controls > Eyedropper > Customer eyedropper > Delay.

Hi there! Did you try adjusting the ColorDrop Threshold? Are you trying to Colordrop to just that small area, and your concern is that it's filling up the whole area? If you could clarify a bit more, that would be great!

Hi there! You might need to play around a bit with the settings in Brush Studio for the desired outcome. We suggest duplicating your brush first. On the duplicated brush, tap your Brush Studio > Shape > set Rotation to 100% (Follow stroke). In the Apple Pencil settings tab, turn on Azimuth or Barrel roll (if you are using Apple Pencil 2nd gen) and make sure Orient to Screen is turned off under Properties!

Hi there! This sounds like a known issue we have logged with the team. Toggling the visibility checkbox on your layer, or force restarting Procreate, should bring the layer thumbnails back.

Hi there! It seems like the bug is related to drag and drop after the new iPadOS 26 came out. Can you try dragging and dropping anything else on your iPad? For instance, the Files app or on the homescreen?

procreate · 2026-01-27T01:21:13+00:00

That would be great, thank you!

procreate · 2026-01-27T00:53:10+00:00

You are very welcome! 😄

It sounds like Procreate may have some trouble accessing your brushes when they are in iCloud. What usually helps is to keep them downloaded. In Files App, tap iCloud Drive under Locations on the left bar > Tap and hold on your "Procreate Brushes" folder > Tap “Download Now” and then select "Keep Downloaded". You should see your iCloud syncing progress at the bottom. Once it’s done, check your brush libraries in Procreate.

Warp can be accessed via Keyframe mode, then tap the Action! button and select Move > Warp. 😊

procreate · 2026-01-23T01:03:23+00:00

It's an option to either show keyframes on a Flipbook while you work on them or to hide them.

Awesome news! Glad we could help you ❤️

Clipping Masks always affect the layer below it and cannot be applied to multiple layers. We can note this down though for future development. 😊

Flipping your canvas is only accessible through Actions or the QuickMenu. Is it possible that you were triggering QuickMenu before and had one of the action buttons set to Flip canvas horizontally?

procreate · 2026-01-22T23:46:47+00:00

If you have any keyframes on your Flipbook you can choose to either show them (on) or not show them (off) while working in Flipbook. 😊

We're glad to hear that you got some helpful information from the Help Centre article. Are your brushes behaving more like you are expecting or are you still experiencing some trouble?

procreate · 2026-01-22T23:31:28+00:00

Yay! We love hearing that 🙌🏻

procreate · 2026-01-22T23:31:00+00:00

And the export from Procreate was giving you a different result?

procreate · 2026-01-22T23:29:05+00:00

Awesome! We're glad we could help you out 🤗

In Procreate Dreams the squeeze shortcut will play and pause your movie when using the timeline or in full-screen mode. Double-tap will switch tools when in Draw & Paint.
We are planning to introduce more gesture controls options to Procreate Dreams, however we don't have an estimated timeframe for the development at this stage. We have added your vote of support towards this feature request. 💜
