Questions about art

Can I use my Procreate brushes?

Yes. Import brushes from Procreate, Photoshop and Clip Studio and use them on canvases and in notebooks.

Does it export layered PSD files?

Yes. Canvases export to PNG, JPEG, PDF or layered PSD.

Can I animate in Tansy?

Flipbooks have onion skin and video export for animation tests, and storyboards play back as an animatic. Tansy is for the planning and drawing before you animate, not a full animation suite.

Does it work with a drawing tablet on Windows?

Yes. Windows pens, Android styluses, Apple Pencil and drawing tablets all work, with pressure and tilt.
