AvoidGot a registration code online after checking the fre trail. From the source it’s more than the 12-13 number subscription code so it doesn’t work, no place to enter it. Money wasted and the online help is trash. The chat to help is just questions that don’t fit the need.

Good appGood app but if it shows me colors wheel when I use tonal correction instead of 3 slides option it will be better for me
Love this app :D but..Drawing on here is so fun and feels just right for me, the simple mode is really helpful :) but I’d love it a ton more if I could atleast save my work individually instead of having to keep a whole canvas full of folders to keep all of them organized
It’s a good drawing software!It has good features
