    Hello! I loved this video and very much look forward to trying out some of your tutorials. I am beginning my art print store where my prints will be available for download. I work in procreate so I am wondering if you have tips on ensuring the best quality for print if there are certain texture brushes that are better than others. I was trying to figure out vectors but I find that you just can't get the same textures that way. Do you think it is necessary to make all prints vectors in order to be printed?

Do you have any suggestions on how to do this so it won't be for printing but others will be buying my mockups photos, and I need to create high quality photos that can be zoomed in on and save as JPG's.

    Genevieve, I so love your enthusiasm; it brings such joy to watching your tutorials. I do have a couple inquires. I've been creating in Procreate and sharing only digitally. I would now like to offer digital printables. I'm finding if I create in Procreate on a 8.5x11 canvas at 300dpi, when I export it, it comes into my files as 96dpi. Also, can you export an entire document as a png with white background? Seems as though it doesn't matter if my background layer is turned off or not. I always ends up with a transparent one. And finally, I would love for you to do a tutorial that really explains the individual blend modes. Thanks for any suggestions. They would be greatly appreciated.

    One of the best explanations of how resolution does and does not work. If I had a baffled client, I would direct them towards this video. Btw the "strength" of the iPad is directly related to the RAM of the iPad. Apple generally does not give that spec information that you would get from a windows or android device, but recently has started to provide it because app developers need to know, especially for Procreate. Also, it should be mentioned that the Pro versions of iPad are best suited for use with Procreate because even if say an Air has 6GB of RAM, app devs can only utilize about 4GB (on par with the Mini) because apple locks off the rest of the RAM so the OS can operate. So a Pro with 8GB of RAM will be able to utilize about 6GB of RAM, providing a more smooth and less limited performance. THAT DOES NOT MEAN anything less than a Pro is not suitable for Procreate, it is just not optimized for it. Especially without the M1 processor.
