Preparing the source file in ProcreatePreparing the source file in Procreate
Once the artist creates the highest resolution background that is still usable in Procreate, all the layers can be merged and the file can be saved as a regular jpeg, keeping its quality at its maximum.
For the next step, this high resolution jpeg file needs to be imported into Procreate. This could happen in many different ways. Importing through iTunes is the simplest of our options and requires the iPad to be connected to the computer via cable.
Preparing the source file
Once the connection is established, the artist has to navigate to Procreate’s folder in iTunes and drag and drop the jpeg file so it appears among the iTunes files on the iPad. The artist must then import the file into Procreate on the iPad by selecting Import/iTunes.
