What it does
Sketchable Plus is a Windows drawing app with pressure-sensitive pen input, configurable tools and layered documents. It supports up to 32 layers and eight custom presets per tool. Native SDA files retain the working document, while PSD export provides a one-way handoff to another editor.
Keep a native copy before finishing elsewhere
Start from a blank canvas or import a PNG, JPEG, TIFF or BMP image. The document editor can crop, trim, resize, rotate or flip it. Draw on layers, then save an SDA document to retain the palette and canvas textures as well as the artwork.
Export PSD when another editor needs the layers. Sketchable Plus cannot import that PSD again, and SDA files only reopen in Sketchable Plus. Flattened image exports are also available.
Save the brush setup with the workflow
Stroke preview provides quick adjustments, with deeper controls in advanced settings. Presets can be saved individually, by tool or as a complete set, making them easier to back up. The top ribbon can be customized or collapsed.
The developer describes Plus as an upfront purchase through the Microsoft Store.
