Ignore the haters, I think you're doing great. I've watched all your videos as an up and coming designer

Thank you for this! I've used InDesign in the past but I was never properly trained so every few years I have to come back and relearn things. I have a technical interview testing me on Photoshop and InDesign coming up in a few days and I really feel like this video got me up to speed! Liked, subscribed, about to binge watch the other videos you mentioned. 👍

I just learned about InDesign yesterday. Thank you for this super helpful tutorial. I will definitely check out your other videos!

[@catseyes11]

You're a really good teacher, slightly fast, but still completely easy to follow as you enunciate well, your audio is great and you explain things step-by-step, keeping things very simple for newbies (tuts like this are rather difficult to find actually, considering there are tons of so-called "tutorials" out there, many are at hyper-speed and people skip or just don't even show the essential steps ). Thanks again, and I will look forward to checking out more of your tutorials as I am needing a refresher! Cheers, Cat-

[@user-sk4yl9oo7r]

I thought that there had to be an easier way than the way I was taught. Images have been time consuming to get the right size and here you show me a simple and fast way to accomplish it. Also, locking the layers is going to be a game changer since what I've been asked to do is always in the same format. Now, I won't be able to accidentally move stuff around. Thank you!!!

[@graceholbert2126]

The way I think of layers on this type of program is that it's like each one is its own sheet of like plastic wrap with stuff drawn on it; you can see each layer through the clear plastic wrap, but you can only affect one at a time.

[@lyh_studio]

That's a perfect way of thinking about it!

[@amalmohamud3795]

Thank you sm lifesaver . 👏👏

[@hoferp]

I think I will need the 2 1/2 hour class. I too have used Canva and Powerpoint and want more. I found your review 'too' brief and light. For example, I reviewed several times to see how to import both images. I could not see where your cursor went to import the photos. I kept going back to see if I could locate it, but could not. You did give me a good orientation to know what my questions are so that tomorrow when I meet with a friend who knows In Design, I will know the questions to ask. Thank you for that.

[@monamasood412]

[@sunlitslumber]

Thank you for the tutorial! I think the reason why InDesign is usually the last thing for most creatives to learn is because Photoshop and Illustrator is already a pretty big hurdle (we wanted to be very adept in them first rather than the print/file formatting)

[@lyh_studio]

Very true! I know that Illustrator was a huge learning curve for me.

[@annahelweg9594]

great video. very helpfull!

[@lyh_studio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hoferp]

I know PowerPoint. I’ve use Canva. I need to get something serious for newsletter layout and I am considering “In Design.“ I started with a 2 1/2 hour class on it and quickly saw that I did not need that long of an introduction. I watched your video and it was exactly what I needed to help me take another step in learning. Thank you. I note that someone below suggested you speak too fast. The wonderful thing about KZbin is that you can slow the speed down. In fact, I sped up the video to 1.75 speed. I wondered a “quick “introduction.

[@lyh_studio]

Thank you for the kind words and great suggestion!

[@fritolays406]

I'm so used to Photoshop hotkeys, and they don't work on InDesign like the full page CTRL + 0, lol. InDesign feels wonky to me in comparison to PS and AI, but nothing like studying and watching this video for some help to add to my belt as a future graphic designer. Thank you!

[@lyh_studio]

Haha, yes InDesign is definitely not as robust as PS or AI but it doesn't need to. It's a really great program for what it does!

[@hadassafaithdelossantos7828]

thank you bro op

[@HDEFMAN1]

Having watched your video, InDesign does not look so forbidding. My local library subscribes to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of programs. Definitely time to make a start on learning this software program.

[@lyh_studio]

It's really probably one of the easiest adobe programs so dive into it! :)

[@pismigiret2482]

Please do continue the splendid work with the 2023 version! Leaned a few nice tricks. Aim for a better mic and some Aqustic dampening, 10% of the gas, flying around with the mouse, a crisper looking thumbnail - and you’ll have thousands of views in no time.

[@lyh_studio]

Great constructive tips, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@I3roseph]

@@lyh_studio If you just export your final audio track to say an mp3 file and use the adobe enhance speech page online it will use AI to auto adjust your audio to sound closer to a studio booth set up. Its very impressive how well it works, whenever I have a interview I always send my talking track to go through the enhancer and save time dialing it in myself.

[@lyh_studio]

@@I3roseph Hey I really appreciate it man! There's also things that I do now in post production to help with audio but Ill give this a shot :)

[@daeildaeil]

Subscribed! thank you

[@adrianokury]

Very powerful program. Maybe a bit too sensitive, and intimidating to the newcomer, but it is worth it.

[@lyh_studio]

So worth it!

[@vegasrealestatephotography]

Great video! What do you use to create your thumbnails? Was this video's thumbnail made in InDesign?

[@lyh_studio]

Yup they sure are!

[@nkingarevealed7388]

Could you tell me what is the reason of bad quality of imported picture even thou the image itself is in high resolution? I can’t figure that out. Also could you suggest best size for presenting online portfolios and how to export them so they wouldn’t be too heavy. Thank you in advance and I think you’re did great job with this super easy and short tutorial

[@lyh_studio]

Bad quality could be because of viewing mode in Indesign to save on computer resources. If you go to the top and go view > overprint preview, does that fix it? Best size I would say is a spread of 8.5 x 11, very versatile. But I have colleagues that would disagree with me, I think it depends by person.

[@onwordi]

[@diogocdr]

Great work buddy, my suggestion; your training would be even better if you emphasise the hyghlights text!! thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@lyh_studio]

Appreciate it man! Do you mind elaborating? Should I go into more detail about how text works and behaves?

[@TheResourcePage]

Thanks for sharing!! I watched a video you made where made a letter into an object by creating an outline around it. However, when I create other text beside it, it doesn't wrap around it. For example the letter V would be outlined by text but its not working in this new version on InDesign. Any suggestions?

[@lyh_studio]

It should work well in this version as well, double check that the letter is indeed what you have the text to be wrapping around!

[@danieloche3156]

Hey! Can I generate page #s, Calender dates & year dates in InDesign? I'm looking to makes a planner book that can be remade yearly w/o having to change each date.

[@Meri2757]

Your channel is very helpful. I need to my opening page to the second page and put a new picture where the blank is . Can you help me with that?

[@corinnevella6484]

What to do if you want to remove the guides for printing? should I set the paste board to preview or just go tlo layout, guides and grids and hide guides?

[@lyh_studio]

The guides are set so they aren't printed! Press "w" to preview what your document will look like.

[@cindyhartmann-bastens8500]

Great tutorial thanks! I'm practising with my portfolio in Indesign, but every time I open up my file I have to relink my images again and they are looking very striped? I don't move my images from any folder and my images come from a external hard drive. And I work in CPU on a Macbook Pro1. What could be the issue here please? Thank you very much!

[@lyh_studio]

That could just be a display error. What happens if you go to view > Overprint preview? Does the image stop being striped?

[@elyanashukri2277]

omg.. I got anxiety when using InDesign for my assignment. Your video makes everything seemed to be so much easier. My question would be.. how do you add charts onto inDesign? Or table?
