Nice video! Thanks for making me aware of these new features... really nice to quickly be able to see what they are and understand how to apply them specifically for TH-cam! :) ps. oh and why do you typically make your thumbnails 4k in size?
Thanks, Joseph, these are fantastic tips, creating thumbnails will be so much faster from now on! I hope the Pixelmator team adds "save as a template" option soon, otherwise I'm sure I'll forget to copy my template at some point and will edit the original instead
I’ll try and think of more dedicated videos. Basically every single project that has need of image editing it’s done in Pixelmator, so it at least plays a minor role in every single video I make.
@@JosephSlinker could you make one of how to make a 5th gen (latest) 12.9 in iPad Pro mockup that can be used by itself or in Pixelmator? I would like one for use in Apple Pages. I don't know if you can import templates into Pixelmator either.
Well, I’m an old man trying to learn something new. I tried to follow along with the video but it went so quickly I couldn’t follow the clicks and got completely lost from the outset. I guess I’m back trying to learn from the help files. I’m running Pixelmator Pro Version 3.0.1.
Hey Larry! I’d love to try and help out. What kind of work are you trying to do in Pixelmator? Have you checked out any of the longer form tutorials on their channels?
@@JosephSlinker Your question of what I am trying to do requires some thought on my part. Primarily I am trying to add ATTRACTIVE text to photos for use online. I am seventy-seven years old and have been heavily into amateur and semi-pro photography for over fifty years. One thing I have noticed, they keep CHANGING the software. I have been through many iterations of software and it gets hard to keep up with all the changes. Currently I use NX Studio, I have abandoned Adobe and am TRYING to use Affinity, and I just purchased Pixelmator Pro when I saw they have some really innovative ways of doing things. I don’t have a peer group to learn from for this work; when I get into this stuff I get lost in the weeds really fast because it’s all new, they’re doing things in new and innovative ways. Today was a productive day for me as I can now add text with drop shadows but there is so much I need to work through, like make my text box less busy but still see the background through it. I liked what your video was demonstrating and tried to watch on my iPad while I did the same exercise on my Mac, but your screen was different and I couldn’t see and follow what you were clicking to get to the screen you had. It’s a good video, I’m just not up to speed enough to keep up. Thank you for your concern.

I’m a total noob on Pxl pro and I’m glad I did the right thing by duplicating the already done template and just duplicated. I have a question. I created a bokeh and how do I save as a preset?
If I'm making a thumbnail, should I start with the canvas at 1280/720? But when I do, and then drag in an image, the image doesn't shrink to fit the space. I can't figure out if there is a way to do that. BTW, there is a dearth of recent videos on Pixelmator Pro so if you are so inclined to do more, I for one would love it. Thanks.
I don't think TH-cam cares about what resolution your canvas is, as long as it's the right aspect ratio and is smaller than 2mb. I usually do 1920x1080 and then adjust the quality slider to fit within 2mb.
The "Alternative Element Group" is a nice touch so you're not constantly turning layers on and off.
Yes, Please & THANK YOU: there is so much in this update that speaks to the bliss of Leslie Cabarga’s Color Combinations’ Books.

Great tutorial, Would love to see more like this on Pixelmator! Thanks!

Same. I’ve already done this twice. 😂
Very nice video! Thanks! I would like to see more videos about Pixelmator and how it relates to Motion or FCP.

After watch your video I bought Pixelmator pro!! thanks!! New subscriber here!!
This video encouraged me to buy Pixelmator Pro 3 today.
🙌
The place holder feature is really great, loved the video
It’s really cool! It makes templates really useful. Can’t wait to see how they improve it in the future.

Yep bout to cop
Do it! You won't regret it!
Awesome, thanks a lot 🙏👍
About your little icon multi select group. How do you set up the group?

You just convinced me to drop PS and pick up Pixelmator
Welcome aboard! You won’t regret it.

@@JosephSlinker Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Tutorial about creating radio wave in apple motion.
Do you have a link to an example of what you have in mind?
Behind bell icon animation in 9to5google intro. I don’t know but I call it radio wave 😁
Thanks and Please what's the difference between pixelmator and pixelmator pro?
You can think of Pixelmator as the lightweight version for iOS. It has some of the same features and is redesigned to be touch friendly.
@@JosephSlinkerthanx ;)
Waiting on Apple to push the update
Same….
