To add those dramatic finishing touches to your artwork, Procreate provides a range of effects. You can brush in image adjustments and effects with Apple Pencil, allowing for fine-tuning. Effects like Glitch, Chromatic Aberration, Bloom, Noise, and Halftone give your work a new dimension. Filters such as Gaussian, Motion, and Perspective Blur create depth and movement. The powerful image adjustments include Color Balance, Curves, HSB, and Gradient Map. The Warp, Symmetry, and Liquify Dynamics features bring your art to life.
