[@Baz_101]

You have a great non robotic way of teaching, with a touch of humor. Feels like I'm in a class 😄 Subscribed! 👍

[@bydesignmethod]

Thank you so much! I try to add a touch of humour.. i'm glad you get it! hah!

This is one of those channels that's suddenly just going to blow up, and deservedly so. Always such great content.

[@bydesignmethod]

Thank you! I would love to reach more people... *fingers crossed* Appreciate you taking some of your time to leave such a great comment!

[@challenger2023]

Thank you for this great video, great job, honestly the first minute was great, the rest is the best tutorial I have seen so far for Affinity Photo.

[@bydesignmethod]

Wow, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. My goal is to help learn some new things and (hopefully) entertain.

[@BigJimSlade67]

Love the Sound effects for NYC! 😁

[@bydesignmethod]

Thank you for noticing the little details!

Can you make a tutorial on how to take text and make it look like it’s been stamped, ink stamped?

[@bydesignmethod]

Sure, great idea. Off the top of my head I would be picking a proper text for the look, using blend modes, blend options and maybe a distort look via live layers but I can certainly create something.

You boosted my creativity ! Thank you

[@bydesignmethod]

Awesome, i'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for watching!

[@colemyst]

Thank you. This is really helpful.

[@bydesignmethod]

Awesome! I'm so glad you found it helpful. Thanks for taking some time to leave a comment and let me know, I really do appreciate it.

[@colemyst]

@@bydesignmethod You're welcome. I must admit I was rather perplexed at why there was a reversed mask; it seemed like a filler application. Sort of like when developers make eight ways to do the same thing.

[@ianbrowne9304]

Or ; add a mask (I have ctlr + shift + m short cut ) then Ctrl + I to make it an empty mask and Ctrl + I to make a full mask again :)

[@bydesignmethod]

that works too! I need to make more use of shortcuts myself!

[@RUTSUD]

BRILLINT !!!!!

[@bydesignmethod]

Why thank you! and thanks so much for watching Dusty!

just one suggestion; try to not "p" into the mic. we had to practice talking with a candle a couple inches from mouth and not make the flame jump. or the lazy way is to use a baffle on the mic, but that really is not necessary.

[@bydesignmethod]

You're totally right, I hate hearing that back on the recording. Interesting idea, i'm gonna try it - thank you!
