Great video, thanks! On your very last tip, you show us we can hit the x key to swap current background and foreground colors. You can also hit the d key to reset these colors to black and white. Cheers!

[@samur4ii455]

Great video love the energy! ❤️ QQ: How do you resize the brush on a mac with a shortcut? Recently switched to mac and have not found it yet (without a mouse)

[@bydesignmethod]

Thank you so much! To resize your brush you can use your bracket keys [ and ] Use [ to make them smaller and ] to make them bigger. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment!

Fantastic! thank you so much for watching!

[@keithkhan174]

No, "fantastical" is not a word. Just "fantastic" is perfectly adequate & correct.

[@bydesignmethod]

welcome to the show Keith!

[@rlbink2498]

I’m such an Affinity noob I sat through this whole thing with my mouth hanging open in shock and awe😂 Thanks dude! EDIT: do you use Affinity Publisher at all? Could you do some tutorials or maybe Shorts about tips or how tos? PLEEEZ!?!?😢😢😢

[@bydesignmethod]

Hey! Thanks for staying tuned in and watching! I do use Publisher for some layout stuff.. definitely on my list to do some Designer/Publisher stuff in the future.

[@rlbink2498]

[@bydesignmethod]

You're too kind!

[@Tigerladybarb]

I Love your tutorials. I have learned so much. I do have a question, how do I get the color swatches that show up in the color tab at the top right?

[@bydesignmethod]

Thank you so much! My studio is set to default, so if you're on a computer (mac or PC) you should be able to go to top menu and select Window > Studio > Reset Studio. That should place the colour swatches in the top right. Let me know!

[@jennyc123]

Can you make a video on how to rough edge the edges on an image similar to ripping effect but more prominent around the entire image ...like antique rough edge paper ❤

[@bydesignmethod]

Hey Jenny! I will add it to the list! For something like that I would use a PNG paper rip (do a quick google search) OR a specific brush that would give me the look of a ripped effect. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!

[@colemyst]

Thanks for some helpful hints. Do you know how to stop affinity from switching the swatches when you use eye dropper? Swatches are red and black, I want to black to be a blue, I use eyedropper to select a blue, black is now blue BUT it swaps the position so when you start painting it's red not the blue or am I the only one this happens to.

[@bydesignmethod]

Hey Cole! I just tested this but it appears to be working normally for me. Are you MAC/PC/iPad? do you use the dropper from the left hand menu or the top right?

[@colemyst]

@@bydesignmethod I'm on a PC and I forgot to say it happens when I us the i key for the eyedropper to choose a color and press b for brush. I always have to press X to switch the colors.

[@bydesignmethod]

@@colemyst You're right. Happens to me as well when I follow the way you do it. Strange bug I think. I usually pull the eye dropper from the top right so I can preview my selection before I select so I've never done it that way. Definitely not just you. I'll keep my eye out for a fix.

[@colemyst]

@@bydesignmethod Thanks, I thought it might get fixed in V2 but I guess not.

[@bramelsheretan]

It's not the greatest, but good tips, thank you

[@bydesignmethod]

how about really, really, really good Bramel? I'll take that.

[@876Tropics]
