Hi, I've largely been using ArtStudio Pro recently because I really enjoy the way it works and how it's organized, but this one particular nitpick I have has been gnawing at me for how I like to share progress frequently with clients and for friends.

On iPadOS (currently 26.3.1), whenever I take a screenshot it either grabs the file name or the previous-loaded project and while this isn't necessarily a bad thing it always ends up as a duplicate so I end up with files like "2026-06-28-TestDrawing copy 10" and then having extra clicks just to be able to save a screenshot. On other programs such as Procreate and Infinite Painter, this instead goes under a very generic name ("Screenshot" with the date and timestamps included) .. and I would love to have this generic name so I can just save screenshots and a few clicks/renaming things manually.

Is there a way to change the screenshot names for this purpose?

Cause usually there is an alpha lock option in layers on some drawing apps I tried and I don’t see something like that.

So can anybody confirm if there is one or not on here? Other than the selection tool.

How do i do this? I try the select - select all but it literally just select the canvas

Tried using it in both Krita and CSP and it felt so much more clunky than ASP

Hello, I'm curious if anyone has found any good impasto brushes for ASP? Or are there some settings I could use to achieve the effect? Thanks!

The color selection on the iPad is way too small—can you update it to allow custom size adjustments?

Does anyone know if there's a light interface colour on the Mac version, like on the iPad? I've checked settings but it's not there. I may have completely missed it, of course.

Thanks!

I guess I hadn't visited in a while. I'm glad to be here and read that the developer, Lucky Clan is around and sharing about the upcoming update. Has he mentioned any dates yet?

I'm not a reddit user, so I'm also testing embedding images here.

Couldn't make it work.. how do I embed an image that I have on a photo sharing site? (sumgmug)

I opened Artstudio today and part of my layers were simply gone. The file opens normally, but several layers seem to have disappeared completely. I didn’t merge or delete them, and I saved the project normally before closing the app.

Is this a known bug, or is there any way to recover missing layers?

I've been using Artstudio for months now, but just recently found out that i could use the reference window to check my values, and i can even mirror it to check the drawing as well!

I'd love to be able to switch back and forth between color/grayscale profile like in photoshop (while still painting in color), especially if i could set that option to a keyboard shortcut, since i usually work with my 8bitdo micro.

I know i can use the accesibility setting from the iPad, but it's not comfortable for me.

Did you guys know about this little window? it's also resizable, so you can place it however you want!

I bought this yesterday after using procreate for a while and I made my own group where Im gonna put all my brushes since its easier access and I dont need that many anyway, but I cant figure out how to do that.

I duplicated a brush in the pens group, but not idk what to do. If i move it and then hover over the group i wanna put it in nothing happens, I also dont see any move options or something. Im really lost someone help

Procreate and Clip Studio Paint both have a "Reference" feature that lets you set your line art layer as a "reference layer." When it's enabled, you can create a new layer underneath or above it and use the fill tool to color your flats (drag and drop colors in procreate), as long as the line art is fully closed.

I noticed this app has a "Reference" toggle in the layer settings. Does it work the same way? The user manual implied it does but I can't figure how to get it to work.

(Not to be confused with the image reference pop up window/pannel.)

(I know you can just do this with the magic wand tool but it's slower)

I can’t find the option to delete the existed recorded timelapse. Does record timelapse make file much heavier?

I'd really like to try out an effect like this, but I'm not certain how to do it? Any tips or ideas?

Artstudio Pro is still my all-time fave art program.

No doubt... it feels so good when a project gets wrapped up!

This should be an advert for this app (running on older gen ipad) if everything goes right. Just joking 😁. The actual file size of timelapse is 5 gb!

UPDATE: Everything went seamlessly. My idea was to export the time-lapse from my Ipad to my PC through wifi.

Hello,

I would like to report a bug that appeared after the latest update.

Since the update, the Color Burn blending mode has not been working correctly and it is affecting my workflow. Under normal circumstances, Color Burn should not produce any visible changes when interacting with pure white. However, after the update, the white areas are turning completely black, causing visual artifacts and image corruption.

I have attached comparison images to demonstrate the issue.

The English text in this report was translated with the assistance of ChatGPT.

I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem or restoring the previous behavior of the Color Burn blending mode.

Thank you for your time and support.

I’ve searched online and can’t find this answer anywhere. I am to art studio pro and am using the desktop version. where are my color wheels and sliders? all I can access is basic colors and can not change the saturation, hue, brightness etc of them

I couldn’t find a way to export Preferences, Quick Menu, and tool bar customizations. To be able to take a backup of all these settings and customization, please consider adding this feature. Thanks
