As an original Serif user, I am so excited that I ran across this program last night. Can't wait to try all the new gadgets on it and see what I can create!

[@amandajohnson4289]

I have used Photoshop for years but stopped doing much editing or designing for awhile. I’m getting back into designing but didn’t want to hassle with Adobes subscription model. Picked this up on a whim, figuring it would be similar to Adobe but thought I’d watch a quick tutorial to get a rundown on the features. Glad to see that it has just about everything I expected it to and I’m sure I’ll have an easy time getting a hang of it! All at an affordable and straight forward cost. I really can’t stand subscription models 😩

[@samrahman6985]

This is amazing, everything I needed to quickly understand the core functionality. I had previously used Adobe products, but no longer wanted to pay a monthly subscription and found Affinity Designer as a great alternative, and your tutorial just sold me on it.

[@bai]

Great to know!!!

[@johnlarkin6855]

If you have any knowledge of Adobe then this fly through identifies where all the main tools are to give you confidence in using this quality programme

[@GeanImation]

If Yogi the bear had a best friend that taught Affinity, this voice would be the guy. Love it! Well done

[@robneil8284]

Excellent tutorial, thank you. Instant instruction with no 'fluff'. Very easy to understand, and covers a huge amount very quickly but simply.

[@bai]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nikki36ful]

Wow! I've had Affinity Designer for a few years now and didn't fully understand all of the tools until watching your video. This is very helpful, thanks!

[@bai]

You are welcome!!

[@nigelbennett5486]

Very, very helpful! Told me exactly what I needed to know.

[@bai]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CapricornDayz]

Excellent video. I was on the fence about buying Affinity Photo 2, but this video made up my mind for Affinity Designer. It fits with other apps, especially for SVG. Thanks.

[@bai]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gregwaugh8069]

The 3 programs together are fantastis. Photo, Designer and Publisher

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

Thanks so much for posting this, as a visual learner, this helps so much. 👍

[@bai]

Great to hear! Thank you!!

[@halimatussakdiyah496]

Thank you for the video. Really helpful

[@bai]

You're welcome!

[@p.fenollera6994]

It seems more complete that I thought! My mind blown out with the pixel and vector persona. They don't have a contour tool yet, like in illustrator, do they? It's the only thing I miss pretty badly, working with affinity designer

[@tack1able]

Great tutorial. Thanks. Please make one for iPad version.

[@bai]

Thank you, we will check what we can do, as we do not own iPad specifically.

[@CharafElhachimi]

you are the best 🤩🤩🤩

[@danfenixcinema8342]

Excellent Video!

[@bai]

Thank you very much!!

[@MacadairoFilms]

Thanks this helps a lot

[@bai]

Glad it helped!!

[@ivoliYT]

Thank you. Nice video.

[@bai]

Thank you too!!

[@daynafost]

Does this program run the same and look the same from an iPad to a Mac laptop? Is the free trial version exactly like the bought version?

[@bevgordon7619]

I like your examples here, Except it would have been great to include iPad aspects. EG hotkeys, shortcuts, mouse use anything involving a computer keyboard- what would be an iPad equivalent. Or maybe you would need to the same video just for iPad

[@weberv41]

Thanks, I'm thinking about getting this. Does anyone know if Affinity Design has a feature that allows you to trace and expand a raster image to convert it to vector?

[@braywhitjas]

My question too!

[@LequipeTechnique]

hi, they dont unfortunately.

[@aphrodite614neomail]

this is perfect! thanks you so much! i was getting overwhelmed trying to decide on a program

[@bai]

You're so welcome!

[@Jonathan__Studios419]

thanks for this video

[@ynyslochtyn]

78 rpm tutorial! A lot to take in but impressive.

[@bai]

Glad you liked it!

[@justindewees6837]

Nice succinct. Much appreciated.

[@bai]

Thank you for your feedback!!

[@jklow9232]

Best alternative to replace Adobe! (can’t stand Adobe subscription models )

[@karansinghaal2158]

Hii….I really want a video explaining how to separate colours in affinity designer for screen printing. And the most important aspect is the each colour should not overlap. All the videos that I have watched have overlapping colours which is basically wastage of ink while printing. Is possible please dedicate a video for screen printers. In illustrator I use trim option from path finder tool to cut each overlapping colours. I have no idea how to do it in affinity. Thank you.

[@erdemergaz6987]

That was great, thank you

[@reyvaldopramudia2064]

Thank you!

[@annalubaszewska6625]

Thank You.

[@Sretep4144]

Thanks for this tutorial. How do I turn the interface other than dragging it with the keypad/mouse?

[@srikanthv980]

Please add for affinity publisher

[@KozaksLab]

The tablet version doesn’t have a lot the pixel tools such as dodge and burn tool

[@phcr809]

The tool is so much more user-friendly than Adobe's Suite

[@TheLoyalSpirit]

Which one is easier to use? Affinity or Photoshop?

[@bai]

We think Affinity is easier.

[@IamaNewCreature]

I like his voice for tutorial.

[@HURRIC4NEyt]

Guys I want to try digital coloring on my favorite comics ever (The walking dead) and I just need some tips on apps like affinity, which one is the best for digital coloring like comics? Anyone have any tips?

[@bai]

Adobe Illustrator is the most professional one we know, besides Krita and CorelDRAW

[@illuminadi5848]

This is an excellent tutorial! Adobe's tutorial (if you want to call it that) was a joke. So sorry I wasted time, money, and frustration with Adobe. Thank you Affinity Designer.

[@benyafezstudio]

Hello, how to activate "PreserveRatio" on affinity designer when export to SVG? Thanks.

[@bai]

We will have to review this option, we never used it. 🧐

[@ChuNengLo96]

I'm having trouble with the result of the export. After, I exported my picture. The texts description became low quality and ugly. It is not high quality.

[@TechnicallyTrent]

Was your original image a vector? If so, in the export menu, you can increase the resolution of the exported file and it will look good.

[@Decodingfashion_]

How can I copy a line between 2 anchorpoints separately, I have been trying to figure this out and it is not there in your video as well. Thanks in advance.

[@ClodiAlmeida]

Nice

[@bai]

Very nice

[@ClodiAlmeida]

Thanks. Merry Christmas

[@stevenranc]

Very good introduction, thanks!

[@bai]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jamesb.5056]

good Video but due to this video being 2 years old Affinity has changed the options of interface of this program so a lot of it is no longer relevant. A lot of buttons are either relocated elsewhere or no longer options in program.

[@bai]

Do you suggest us to update this tutorial?

[@बस्तरदर्शन]

What is the best video compressor without quality loss

[@jannieoshaughnessy6089]

Please upload a tutorial about figma Thanks

[@bai]

Let's see what we can do!!

[@miZo8925]

Nem számítottam a videó elején megjelenő Magyarország bélyegekre :D

[@roa5359]

I guess it's a decent little overview but if you are a total beginner it is in many parts too quick to follow, skipping important parts.

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

Does this do webdesign

[@bai]

It is not recommended for web design.

[@JackSmith-ud9bg]

I just downloaded Afffinity 2 and strted to watch your video and noticed it dosen't look the same,

[@bai]

Dear Jack, please do not stop at the first page - this can change over the versions. The core of the software does not change and this is the basics you need to know to start as a beginner. Thank you!

[@FraggingRoach]

@@bai mine looks differen't and that makes it so confusing. i don't have all the options you do when clicking the tools on the left you have a extra column of assets and i don't have assets. i looked it up and it says click studio but there is no studio in affinity 2 in view

[@bai]

@@FraggingRoach Probably you are running a different version, for sure not desktop one.

[@August_2456]

i still dont get how you undo stuff, its like youre going too fast

[@Vee_Valeriio]

@@August_2456 ctrl z

[@bai]

You can slow down with the gear icon on the KZbin player.

[@galgatha2003]

THAT'S RELATIVITY FOR YA

[@jodib4445]

Robot voice. naw don't like it

[@funnyassvidsboy]

How do I make all overlapping lines in a drawing connect at the intersecting points? Like if I draw multiple shapes and I have pieces of those shapes touching I want the interesting points to become nodes so when I move that node around then both intersecting shapes will move as one.
