Short, sweet, and filled with great tools. Thank you. I love these short little videos that show tools I never would have known existed or how to use them. Like this.

Thanks for watching Chris!

Can you use this for LUTS or a similar technique?

[@bydesignmethod]

It would be tricky to match a LUT exactly but you could certainly pull tones and play around with the blend modes on the colours to get a better match.

[@UltraPatate]

Awesome, i will try voronoy filter for portrait painting(making a flat image with basics colours blocs

[@bydesignmethod]

Yeah it's a pretty cool filter... let me know how it goes, i'm interested!

[@UltraPatate]

@@bydesignmethod it works well

This is a very inconvenient way to color pick to fill a shape with color. Instead you should really use the eyedropper tool. It is normally assigned to I on the keyboard. Pick this tool (if you have no shape selected, press and hold V and select you first shape, then release V) Now you can click anywhere on the picture and the shape will change to this color instantly. Then with V pressed select the next shape and release V again, etc. This is a much quicker method than having to drag over the color picker every time and then having to click to change the color of the shape. If you just want to have a quick palette from an image without much control, you can also do this in the swatches panel: under the hamburger menu select "Create palette from image" and select the image you want and the number of swatches to generate. This method is not very good as to me it does not make the best selection of hues, but it is a start.

[@bydesignmethod]

Disagree, good points but not great for visual design.

[@jeffreypostma6832]

@@bydesignmethod What do you mean by that exactly?

[@gregsLyrics]

Another amazing helpful video. I am an idiot when it comes to editing a photo. Your lectures are invaluable to me. I thought where you were going was to introduce those coarse mosaic colors into color grading another photo, or something. I don't understand why to make a color swatch.

[@bydesignmethod]

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! That is actually a great idea. As far as editing we all start somewhere.. I still don't know a thousand things about Affinity..but I'll keep going!

[@obsessedwithkorea8335]

Can you help me? I have one issue with affinity software. when I move an object, image, or anything, it cuts like a glitch effect. That's the only thing that stops me from using affinity.

[@bydesignmethod]

Hey, Are you using it on PC, Mac or iPad?

[@leonardmoldoveanu]

Brilliant thumbnail 😂

[@bydesignmethod]

Thank you!

[@neddelic]

are you bonzer ?

[@bydesignmethod]

I have no idea what that means.. so no I am not bonzer.. is that a youtuber?

[@Afterword.]

@@bydesignmethod I think he's calling you a surfboard. From Wikipedia: Bonzer may refer to: a slang term in Australian English meaning "good" or "excellent" a type of surfboard. a brand of commercial kitchen equipment such as can openers and portioners.

[@bydesignmethod]

@@Afterword. it doesn't sound too bad lol

[@Afterword.]

@@bydesignmethod My guess is that it was a wellness check because you sounded a little, erm, *not good* in the opening. Something like a, "Bro, you good, man?" But in Aussie. Please weigh in, @Neddelic!

[@KathleenRenninger]

Thanks! I knew there had to be a better way; Vernois (?) is a neat trick.

[@bydesignmethod]

Thank you so much for watching!
