I love that Kittl did this. I have t-shirts with front and back designs and now I can have them together. So - question - is there a way to "import" two projects (previously had front design and separate for back design) and bring them together into the one artboard project? Thank you for this great video!!

[@daisy77497]

A eraser would be awesome

[@amybaker2247]

You mentioned changing colours when you have multiple artboards on the canvas, but it only applied to the background. If I had 4 artboards, for example, could each artboard have their own project colours? So say one has the 'candy shop' palette and another has 'red autumn'; is that possible? Or is it artboard backgrounds only?

[@Kittldesign]

The eraser tool is now live! Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYTCfqSPd9llaaM

[@AnthonySatkowski-lm9bs]

Not only is the update valuable, but your explanation about it adds even more value.

[@Kittldesign]

So happy to hear that!

[@OlexDesign]

Multiple Artboards is one of the main reasons for me to continue using Kittl. Before it was really limiting in terms of workflow etc.

[@Kittldesign]

Glad to hear that!

[@GagaLeslie]

Thank you Drew. At first I freaked out but now it all makes sense. It's just that I logged in one day and it was all different so I just abandoned Kittl til I could find a tutorial. This was GREAT!!

[@Kittldesign]

Glad it helped!

[@KelleyShawSmith]

OMG I love love love the new art boards. Don't want to go back ever. I'm just glad upscale is back. It's just so much easier using in 1 program. Only thing is I sometimes like to scroll through the colors boards just to see other options and it seems even if you have a board selected it changes all of them. There was a glitch where it wouldn't download all the boards today, but like everything once you start using the bugs have to be worked out. Just part of the process. Now I need you to make a iPad version so I don't have to carry my laptop everywhere for personalized products. lol

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! Yes there are few bugs as you've explained we are working on!

[@ThatEnglishMajor]

Change can be scary for a lot of people, but I personally love this new feature. ❤

[@Kittldesign]

Glad to hear that!

[@bosslifebeauty]

Art boards are the perfect feature for those using Kittl for wall art as you can create a separate art board for each size you are offering. One reason many pros use affinity designer and illustrator when creating multiple facets of an art project that includes layouts for different items such as branding packages etc...thankyou for this great feature, once users learn it will be life chaning to productivity and creativity.

[@Kittldesign]

Absolutely! Great points here!

[@MikeDezinesbyEM]

When it first updated I was like uh oh. But played around for a few minutes and LOVE this. Made 4 art boards for Etsy with different dimensions and downloaded them all at once. Wow time saver! ❤❤Also love the background color is on the art board now.

[@Kittldesign]

That's right! You got it!

[@doingthework7914]

Love the new feature and figured much of this out already from your first video but this gives more detail. One thing I would mention is that I like to compare versions of my work in different colours and, when using the colour palette feature, all of the artboards change to the selected palette rather than just the one I'm working on. Would be great if this could be addressed. I'm very happy with KIttl so keep up the good work :)

[@Kittldesign]

Yes this is something we are working on! Thanks for sharing.

[@user-gy8nu5ch4u]

Drew, great video! I too struggled at first but figured it all out and appreciate its value! However, this explanation is immensely useful! Thank you!

[@Kittldesign]

Glad to hear that!

[@bradholmes1832]

Drew, I do Appreciate and Respect, what you, Tobbi, and All da Kittl Crew, have have - Enhanced and Done ! .......................... As an Instructor, I go through this as well, so I DO Understand! YEP, Life ' Happens"!!! cheers, Brad H ................................. I'm on Your Side!!!!!

[@Kittldesign]

Glad to hear that!

[@prayersponytails6227]

I love the multiple artboards so much! It's so nice when I'm building a collection to save it all in one zip folder!

[@Kittldesign]

For sure! So glad it's helpful.

[@goerillsomby]

This is great, Drew! I just learned a lot of new things and I love that I now can work on several designs at the same time, like you just showed us here. I have just been collecting many designs on the same art board, to work further on it later.

[@Kittldesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tennisgal98]

Okay, this was SUPER helpful. Thank you!

[@Kittldesign]

Cheers!

[@Print-Stitch-GJ]

This is a much better explanation of the changes. I was getting frustrated with the changes but you’ve cleared up a lot of questions. I’m glad to see that you all are making upgrades to the program. I’m hoping to use kittl exclusively at some point and get rid of all of the other programs I’m using

[@Kittldesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@niceice07]

This video was helpful and very necessary for myself and I'm sure a lot of other people.

[@Kittldesign]

Glad to hear that!

[@bandito2023]

Great video! Thanks so much. I was struggling to figure out how to name my downloads. This helps a lot.

[@Kittldesign]

You are most welcome!

[@woodcrafterinyourpocket8640]

Thank you for this explanation. I thought I was crazy that I couldn't get it to work. Glad it is fixed. I totally thought it was cool that you added this feature. It was 1 feature that I kept going back to Canva for. 😂

[@Kittldesign]

Glad this was helpful for you!

[@GypsiesandInk]

I love the additional artboards, very helpful to complete a project. for me anyways. Thank you Kittl.

[@Kittldesign]

Most welcome!

[@Print-Stitch-GJ]

This will be great for creating shirt tags/labels for different sizes!!!

[@Kittldesign]

For sure!

[@reneedaivs]

This was sooo helpful😅, Drew! Will definitely be more efficient now with POD workflow. Thank you!

[@Kittldesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@controlledburn]

This is a great update, and I appreciate the extra explanation. Thank you Drew!

[@Kittldesign]

You are most welcome!

[@3Mfarm]

Love this! also thanks for stepping me through my issues on Disord, lol I was freaking out trying to get something downloaded. This video helps so much. And after using the new features I really like the changes.

[@Kittldesign]

So glad to hear that!

[@ScratchcardsWithScotty]

Great video. May I suggest with whatever the next major update you do.. that you do this type video tutorial before the launch as a “Coming Soon on Kittl” What frustrates the hell out of me is opening up the platform and not being able to find stuff that was second nature to use with no explanation whatsoever on what’s changed and how to use it. The multiple art boards is a great addition and credit where it’s due on also improving the AI feature.. Scotty ☘️ Ireland 🇮🇪

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! Point taken. However we definitely have some email campaigns that go out, as well as onboarding popups that take place on the website when a feature is being released. Checkout your account settings and make sure you are subscribed to the newsletters!

[@ScratchcardsWithScotty]

@@Kittldesign I will switch that on for news letters in my settings.. thank you for replying 🫶

[@RitaAshin]

Awesome! Love it thanks Drew, massive value

[@Kittldesign]

Great explanation! Thank you! 😍

[@Kittldesign]

Cheers!

[@markcurranjr7366]

Thanks Drew.

[@Kittldesign]

Most welcome!

[@BrendaKAesoph]

I may have to watch it a few times to truly understand it. For now, my only goal is to write a book. Then, I will transfer the artwork to CANVA and continue. I will practice and see what I can accomplish. I am 68, so tech comes a bit slower for me. I am over the top excited about it all.

[@Kittldesign]

Best of luck on your book!

[@miss.phyllisreneefoster9547]

thank you so much

[@Kittldesign]

You're welcome!

[@mrgaiswinkler]

I absolutly LOVE this new feature. Will make a youtube video too for you guys to push the german market. 🙂some thing i asked for myself - what about promo codes for affiliates - do you push them into impact?

[@Kittldesign]

We can check with the team. :)

[@DieselandRPMs]

Love it! 🎉🎉❤

very helpful.

[@Kittldesign]

Glad to hear it!

[@anthonyward1620]

Thank you for the video cuz I'm definitely loving kittl and I would hate to leave and go somewhere else.

[@Kittldesign]

Thanks for watching!

[@JuanMartinezjm]

Thank for the explanation. that helps a lot, I really like the artboards, before I use to have about 5 tabs open working on the same project, I am one to look at my work, and look at it different everytime, this helps... and faster to make multipule designs in different colors or patterns. I do have one thing and please add this to a video. say I got 5 artboards, I know how to scale in and out but my problem is, if I want to focus on just one artboard and move in on it, meaning moving the canvas to just that one. How can I do that with out zooming in on all of them? The only way I can work on a artboard is to move it to the center and work on it for now. hope this makes since. thank you

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, we're not entirely sure what you mean, but you can hit shift 0 to make everything go back to center, then hold the space bar and drag to get to your desired artboard, then you can zoom in and out with + or - keys as you please!

[@lousals]

My settings isn’t next to the shared button in the upper right. Has that changed also? It only shows: share,notifications, mock-up , print and download

[@Kittldesign]

Yes it is now in the left hand side, in the 3 lines (hamburger menu).

[@bflobug]

How to resize a template to fit into my artboard?

[@francisvalerio2639]

Anyone have thoughts on using the "Optimized" option when downloading a project. If you have upscaled images and saving at 4500x5400, 300dpi, is it necessary/beneficial to use "optimize" image when downloading? Thx

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! We always recommend hitting Optimize Quality when exporting something for Print. It's sort of like giving the browser a little extra time to smooth out the pixels in your downloaded PDF. Usually, it's not needed for digital use.

[@coldp77]

The project colors seems to be connecting the art boards instead of individual. What are i doing wrong. I know it may be just unclick something.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, yes, at the current moment, the project document colors affect the entire project at large, connecting all artboards. To see your canvas colors, you can click on the canvas title and see the individual design colors in the right side panel. We are also looking into how to best optimize the way colors work in Kittl.

[@MarkHuntatGoogle]

Loving the new artboards. I do have what seems like a new issue when downloading. The download appears to automatically reduce/clip to the actual image size (when its sits on a board of a large size) automatically and every time I want to download I have to manually reset the download dimensions back to the artboard size. I cannot recall this being default behaviour prior to the artboard feature being introduced. For reference, the artboard size is correct, this auto scaling down of the size only occurs when downloading. I can manually work around it, but it's quite annoying.....anyone else having this problem or just me?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! I believe this was a bug we found that we are working on. Thanks for bringing this up!

[@BrendaKAesoph]

I have started your video over and over but cannot see where I get to name my first new project. None of my pictures have anything at the upper left to allow me to name it. I even closed the program down and restarted it.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! To rename your artboard, you can double click the text, or edit the layer over in the layers panel in the lower left. If you are uploading pictures (not on an artboard), then there will be no "artboard" to rename. You can however rename objects over in the Layers panel as well.

[@tysonbay1]

When I do my color separations for screen printing the sizes randomly change when I hit download button. So I had to send my project to Fiverr for something that would have been simple in pre update kittl. Am I doing something wrong or is it a kittl glitch as customer service suggested but hasn’t fixed yet? Thank you not complaining I just want this rock off the road.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! There was definitely an export canvas size glitch taking place, and is not happening as frequently there. However, in setting up your artboard size, when exporting, at 300 DPI, there shouldn't be any issues from your normal canvas size dimensions. However, there were a few complications when exporting multiple canvases all at various sizes. We are still looking into making sure this gets fixed.

[@tysonbay1]

@@Kittldesign thank you, it makes everything so easy when it works right

[@VivienneRussell]

when I create a project (now artboard) there is a grid overlay. Can I remove it and if so, how?

[@GypsiesandInk]

Check in the settings to see if grid is on. There should be a toggle for on and off.

[@Kittldesign]

Yes! You can turn grids on or off via the Cog settings panel.

[@susanravella6261]

This is probably a really stupid question, but my 2nd artboard is covered by the pop up settings menu on the right and I can't get to it. When I placed it below my main artboard, it lies below the visible line of accessibility, and there's no way to scroll it down to see it. Any advice?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, you can hold the space bar and drag with your mouse to move the artboard where you want it. However you may be too zoomed in and can use the minus key to zoom out a bit and readjust to the size you want.

[@azalabdul4137]

I have a prombelm. When i upload an image i cant edit the text of the image. I can edit text in templte fomart but with my personal uploads i cant any solutions?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, you can't edit the text on a static image, as it is a pixelized baked image, that is not editable. Text can only be edited from the fonts that are added within Kittl.

[@JuanMartinezjm]

another question. so I been experiement with the boards.. right now I have 8 boards I am looking at.. I had to create a 9th one. due to the reason that forgot to edit my brightness, contrast, and few others, when I go to edit them. my image disappears? what I am I doing wrong? My thoughts was to take all boards and show how I went started from a pic and turned it tee shirt design? not so what to do? Im not on discord for I don't like it, Im sure I can get answers there. sorry guys be a pain in the ? here..

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, we're not entirely sure what the issue is, especially without seeing it. Can you please reach out to our live chat support for them to take a look? It may be that something is hidden on your last artboard which you can check from the layers panel. You can access chat via the Help panel in the lower left side of the editor and then click on chat support.

[@1suitekitty]

why does it keep changing the size of my boards. why cant i group things together and it changes what is in front ?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, we're not sure what you mean by changing the size of your boards. And you can certainly group things together, and when they are on a board, they be underneath that layer over in the layers panel. When you drag anything away onto the canvas, it will not be attributed to any artboard.

[@susanbyland5106]

I am having issues trying to make the 1st art board. Everything gets jumbled up.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, you can create a new project, will only come with 1 artboard on the screen. Can you reach out to chat support to show them what is happening? It might be difficult to interpret here in comments. You can access chat via the Help tab in the lower left side.

[@highwayproductionsfilms1195]

The settings don’t work!!!! Even though I put in 4500x5400 as my dimensions when I download the project it creates a tiny image in the left hand corner. I have to create my design in kittl then download in canva to get the right size! It’s terrible

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, this certainly sounds like a bug if that is the case. Although we don't have any reports like this, please reach out to support for the developers to take a look.

[@highwayproductionsfilms1195]

I honestly can’t even get one art board to work let alone multiple! I really think u need to have tech support live help

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, we do have a live chat support that can help you understand the settings.

[@aligale5015]

oh that's weird, it doesn't ask me where I want to download, which would be nice if I could figure that out

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! Everything from Kittl just goes into your native downloads folder. :)

[@highwayproductionsfilms1195]

It is so difficult to use!!! It sucks

Hey there, have you reached out to our live chat support to help you walk through the new feature?
