Give your art that professional finishing touch with the Adjustments menu's amazing capabilities.
In the top menu bar you’ll find a magic wand symbol. This is the Adjustments icon.
Tap it to open the Adjustments menu.
Polish your image with two different adjustment types.
There are two types of adjustment available through the menu — Adjustments and Filters. Adjustments adjust color within your image. Filters affect your image through pixel manipulation and special effects.
Procreate dedicates the top half of the menu to color adjustments. These four versatile, professional tools adjust and balance the colors in your image.
Tap an adjustment to activate it, then apply it using the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
When activated, an adjustment affects your current primary layer.
The bottom half of the Adjustments menu offers 11 powerful filters. Use these for fast, simple image adjustments and fun special effects.
Tap a filter to activate it, then adjust it using the on-screen gestures described below.
Apply filters and color adjustment using two different modes — Layer Filters and Pencil Filters.
You can apply Adjustments and Filters across an entire image or layer with Layer Filters. Or you can paint them with a brush onto a section of an image within a layer using Pencil Filters. Some filters, such as Liquify or Clone are only available as Layer Filters.
When you select an adjustment or filter, Layer and Pencil buttons will appear beneath the title. Tap an adjustment or filter to activate it, then tap the Layer or Pencil button to choose which mode you want.
Note: Pencil Filters can only be used with an Apple Pencil. Liquify and Clone will not show Layer or Pencil buttons and go straight to Layer adjustment mode.
When using Pencil Filters a sparkle will appear on the brush icon at the top of your canvas. You can still select brushes while using a Pencil Filter. But, that brush will now paint the adjustment or filter effect you have chosen onto your layer.
Pencil Filters also work with the Smudge or Erase tool to smudge or erase any part of the filter you have painted. Again, a sparkle will appear on the Smudge or Erase icon to show you are in Pencil Filter mode.
Access Layer and Pencil Filters quicker using these gestures.
Tap an adjustment or filter and flick Down + Left to access Layer Filter mode.
Tap an adjustment or filter and flick Down + Right to access Pencil Filter mode.
