Best tutorial about swatches, palettes, and global colors I've watched. The way you explained it was succinct and simple to understand. I'm changing how I use colors (especially global colors) going forward, so much, much thanks!

Very nice tutorial again. Never understood the global colors before now.

Great stuff! After years of using Adobe products, I've switched to the Affinity suite. Content like this goes a long way to making the switch easy!

Thank you for the informative video. Is there a way to make an entire palette a global type?

I've lost my layers panel on the right of my software, how do I get it back? I can't see where to pin it in any of the menu's

Thanks

I love your tutorials! I’ve learned so much. But please enunciate and slow down a bit. I’m hearing impaired. I’m not the only one out there. I can slow down the playback, but I can’t fix the enunciation. I’ll still watch your videos, because you’re a very good teacher.
