I would like to create and publish digital children books, but would also like to have the option of getting the books printed, for example be able to publish and print via Amazon. Which software would you recommend? Thanks!
Omg! I can’t take the fast talk, why???
How do I hide the taskbar on the right
8:02 - Thank you for this... I'm still on the fence (financially) about buying V2, But at least now I know the majority of tutorials are going to be backwards compatible. And you gained a new subscriber!
I just bought Affinity Designer 2 for $35 (Black Friday special). Now see there is the universal license for all 3 apps for all platforms for $82 (Black Friday special). Wish i had seen that before. Should I get that? It looks like a killer deal, and I have Mac and Ipad Pro, would use on both.
Would you reccommend any of the Affinity apps for producing things like reports / invoices? Or better to use something like Word / Pages ? Thanks
Perhaps you have an idea of how to do this: In photoshop there was a great feature where you could select an existing color anywhere within your project by doing an "Opt-Click?" (or something like that) and doing so would set that color for your little fill-bucket tool. It also worked for any brush or pencil tool as well. I cannot find a way to do this in Affinity which surprises me. Would you happen to know?
Looking like Affinity Photo will do for me. Im gonna watch the publisher video next but i think I’ll just end up getting this on its own. I just need something that does what Photoshop does, so I can create TH-cam Thumbnails and posters for my Short films. Thanks for the videos, helping me decide between individual programs or suite
I really appreciate this video
A very interesting book indeed, I found it at goodwill(new) for only 3 bucks. Very interesting history and explanations of modern day infrastructure. Great video man 👍Great to see other people like the book too.
Appreciate the video, very helpful and clear. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Is this content still applicable to version 2? Anything we should try instead?
The process has improved in v2, AI files can be brought in directly although they still function like throughline pdfs
Can you just tell how to do it instead of talking so much
Great concise video thanks. So this is basically like deselect... With photoshop you can press enter and it'll deselect/remove square around a layer. I'm trying to set a keyboard shortcut within Affinity with the enter button to be the "Hand" tool and act like a deselect, functioning as enter does in photoshop. Thing is, the enter shortcut is in use by default for brining up a "Move/Duplicate" window and I can't seem to find it anywhere in the pages of shortcuts.
Anyone else here because they learned that Arcane on Netflix was done with Keyframes and needed it explained?
Great thanks 👍
It’s Affinity’ 😂
Ben, wherefore art though?
I was using a PDF creator but found that adding text that exceeded one page did not bleed over into the second third fourth or whatever amount of pages required. I figured I had to use a product such as this. I'm unfamiliar with all the various products, but this seems to be an excellent price and as you mentioned, has all the features one might need. I am assuming that the document can be saved as a PDF. Is this correct?
thabks
I just got the entire v2 suite for 30 bucks 😏
Crazy right?!
really helpful video. Thank You
I do not understand how you do not have more likes; this is a great video thanks
Awesome, thanks for the introduction! What I'm most worried about right now, thinking about switching from Adb Id, is if Publisher has GREP search/replace and GREP styles within styles (or something equivalent), which, more than extremely helpful, I basically see as essentials now. There's also nested styles, also very helpful, inheritance for paragraph, character and object styles (other essentials basically) and just a lot of flexibility with styling and automating stuff. In any way, first glance, it looks very familiar or better in some ways, so I'll surely be testing the Affinity suit soon, with its long trial period, since I'm VERY interested in switching from Adobe (as I'm sure many others are). Now, with DaVinci Resolve (which I recently started using and learning more and am sooo much happier with) and Affinity apps (very promising looking), we'd be all set!! Oh, and I almost got the 3 apps when it was trending with a promo discount and somehow forgot about it, and I'm regretting not doing it so much these days! (taking into account that I'm Bolivian and price is a big factor here, hah)
This was so helpful, thank you!!
Great. Thanks
I think this is not what feature affinity supports, it what PDF supports
Very beneficial information. Thanks so much. I'm still deciding about switching to Affinity.
This information is old, they have improved it considerably since I made this video. Be sure to get the trial and test out opening Ai files before you buy it though to see if it does what you need.
Will it open and save as adobe format docs?
It can open some, but the only adobe formats you can save in are PDF and PSD.
bro im in year book in school and this helped alot thx
Great! Glad I could help out
Thank you this really helped me out
🙏 please can you make more davinci resolve iPad tutorials
Sorry, I'm not really posting to this channel right now, too much going on with other things.
Links functionality is where you spend most of time preparing a publication in InDesign with an ability to refresh links a must have in a teamwork environment.
Literally provided the entire use and feature in a condense straight to the point video. Perfect man, thanks for making it
you are welcome!
Such a great tutorial! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm finally getting around to weening myself off Adobe after almost 30 years. So here I am! They had a sale on a few weeks back for Designer, Publisher and Photo for £80 so I had to take them up on it! Now to work out how to use them lol.
I have number of courses you might want to look at for learning them if you are having trouble.
Good video, many thanks.
Okay but why can’t I just get the outline on mine. Everything is always filled.
btw if anyone is still here and is wondering affinity software now has a 25% discount for those who own affinity 1
wtf is there no freehand mode...
Not in Publisher, you are going to be looking at Designer for that. Although I don't think freehand is very good in any vector program.
I bought the ink and slide and used it successfully on my iPad Air 1 - I’m not an illustrator, however I used the devices in Good notes and it was brilliant. Slight lag, but all good at the time.
Thanks a lot for sharing!!! That tool is awesome!!!
No problem!
This is the BEST beginner friendly video i have seen. Seriously. So helpful. Only thing that im still confused about is the cleanup tools are a bit different on the newer version and i cant figure them out.
Ben should become an auctioneer.😮
God bless you for that! The best explanation ever! Most other explanations have made me feel stupid...🤩
they now have a universal upgrade from V1 to V2 with 25% off all three for all platforms
I’m switching right now and that’s why I searched you out. Thanks for a great video 😊
Glad I could help!
Omg this helped
the class is no longer on skillshare
Yeah, it is all on TH-cam for free now!
