Do you have a ever consider making videos about using adobe express and how AI is changing adobe products I am a subscriber of your service courses. I think they need an update to include how to use AI embedded products.

Why does the shortcut key @6:54 default to the gradient key?

[@emmanueloladapo1784]

Hey Dan, Can you pls do gor Figma 🥺🥺

[@Digital-Dan]

Years ago I checked out a version of Illustrator. Amazing capabiilities. Totally non-intuitive and user-hostile GUI, thought I at the time. Based on my use of other Adobe stuff, and most definitely this example, my opinions haven't changed much if at all. Virtually no real world analogies can be used to understand what's going on, which to me is important, and was back when Adobe founders were colleagues. Guess they didn't listen hard enough. . Most such issues do fade with familiarity, although max productivity may be limited by some GUI choices.

[@jose.rvmirez]

[@47melvin]

Hi Dan, I’m a BYOL course subscriber, and I can tell you the value you provide on your website is worth at least ten times my subscription fee. Thank you so much! But as much as I'm learning tons from you, there's one thing I hope you could remove in future videos - your incessant use of the filler “kind of”. 😅 It's ok if I’m only watching one video or two. But watching them continuously for hours got into me so much that sometimes all I hear is “kind of” and missed some crucial points. 😂 It's not only you, though. I've heard one too many KZbinrs use “kind of” unnecessarily in their videos, too. For now, I'll give your courses a rating of 9.9/10. 0.1 is taken away because of the “kind of’s”. 😁 I know it's crazy for me to ask you to remove the filler since this is how you speak, and I may be the oddball here. But I was hoping to give you a perfect 10 for your courses. 😅

[@SpectacularSewing]

Caveman!

[@MARAKlYE]

God 🎉

[@mihaelsa]

Dad jokes please!!!🧔
