I like the idea of object type icons but they're so small and low contrast I find them very hard to see, My eyes are not the best, but not that bad either. I just shut them off so I'm not wasting time trying to figure out what it is I'm looking at. Anyway, please keep up the great videos.
@@oo0Spyder0oo The thumbnails are fine. It's those little icons on the left of the thumbnails. To me they are hard to see and this makes them distracting, because I'm always trying to see what it is. That's just me I shut them off and use better names.
Better that moving the Layers Panel to the left is moving the Tools to the right and have it snap to the panels there, since most users are right handed. (Lefties could do the opposite.) I never understood the sense in having the tools and panels separated by the canvas area but since Photoshop did it that way, everyone else felt the need to copy rather than be original. In Affinity Photo v. 1, I did move the Tools to the right but they didn't snap to the panels; they just floated and I had to live with that. I suggested Affinity make the Tools snap early on. They never did. I don't know if they made that change in v. 2. Most of the time, I use shortcuts keys to change tools but it's still be nice to have everything on the right side (left, if you're a leftie) on the occasions where using the mouse might be more convenient.
I am a leftie but mouse right since that was what I was taught from an early age. I only ever met one leftie that actually moused left because it is like trying to fight quicksand since almost everything in every program is mapped to use the left side of the keyboard. The typical keyboard and mouse is exclusively meant to be used in a right handed fashion in pretty much all circumstances unfortunately imo.
Good use of time for those familiar with v1.
Multi layer clipping. So cool!
^_^
It is very useful. Thanks! 😎✌
Just watched a handful of your Affinity pieces - very good.
Thank you Jason, just subscribed to your channel, what a quality content ^_^ love it!
Thanks Mark. I use Affinity a lot with Motion these days. Keep up the great work. Where are you from?
Awesome film :)
Thanks Michał :)

You can make the thumbnails larger in the layers menu.

@@jimdart8219 Yeah I get you, it's a pity the icons don't go larger or have a separate sizing option too.
Thank you,
You are welcome!

Nice vid! Does the layer brush history get saved with the file or just while the file is open?
