I'm following your tutorials since I started to use QGIS about a month ago. Thanks to your clear and edicational videos I managed to reach high quality results in short time. I'm amazed, considering, hmm my age, and that my background is only mechanical engineering with zero previuos knowledge about cartography. Thank you!

Some feedback -- I would caution against using map themes without further understanding. If you don't have your map locked in print layout, you can do some destructive thing by turning themes on and off it seems? Since they turn layers on and off. I'm now needing to recreate a legend because of this.

Thanks for the tutorial! I'm just having a problem when exporting the layout. I don't understand why the labels get really small, despite the size I define in the canvas. Even in the layout view, I see them big. But then when I export it, small again... Any suggestion on how to fix it? Thanks!

Thank you so much! I learned a lot through you videos, best QGIS tutorials in youtube! I was wondering if you are familiar with the semi-automatic classification in QGIS (for waterbodies, like lakelevels for example) ?? would be interesting!
lovely greeting!

Hi thanks for the video tutorial and your explanations are very easy to follow and great. Could you also tell me how to add coordinate grid in the layout thanks

Sir, Thank you for the very detailed workflow for map design. Can we save the design for future use (like the styles). Thank you

Bonjour !!!
Je souhaiterais comprendre comment faire pour parvenir à ce stade. C'est à dire je veux comprendre comment réaliser une carte de Bassin versant.

Thanks so much! One easy question: How do you adjust the box to fit the map? I lost track of where the mouse went at 2:10 😅

Sir, why don't you use gird and coordinates to the map? Is it not necessary?
