YouTube Tutorials?

[Jam-on-toast]

I must admit I am one of those who LOVE playing and creating with my software - the actual process of clicking and dragging etc... I've learned a number of things, from the basic odd-shaped text boxes that I use in practically every layout to curved photo frames and building a realistic notebook from scratch. My latest experiment was building a schere... which kept not looking the way I wanted it to so I ended up giving a boost to by using one of Anna Aspnes's water drops overlays... so... sharing proudly...



If some of you may remember my post about making a layout in 20 min... well, this WASN'T 20 min. This wasn't even one day. It took me about a week - I kept coming back to it, adding and deleting paper textures and brushes, moving stuff around... this layout is waaaaay out of my usual scrapping style so I wasn't sure how much was too much/little or when to stop...

Do you guys use YouTube videos? What tutorial did you use?

P.S. I use Affinity Desginer, not Photoshop. I found the tutorial on YouTube using their search engine

Only if I cannot find a written tutorial. It's just so much easier to go back and review steps when the tutorial is written.

@scribler I like written tutorials too because they are faster - I can just skim through the instructions... but with videos I often need to stop and watch again... but I haven't seen than many written tutorials, other than the instructions to a challenge or something similar...

I watch far too many You Tube Videos and some of them ramble on and on, so its nice to be able to fast forward to the parts you really want to see!

I know what you mean... it helps having that option to watch exactly the part you need as many time as you need to...

I like YouTube Videos as well written tutorials. Unfortunately most of them are in English. I can use them, but I know a couple of people who have a problem with that.
I was looking specially for photo treatment. I'm using the newest Photoshop, so I can't use any tutorial for an older version perfectly.

This is super cool! I periodically search for specific youtube how to videos but most of the time I just keep experimenting til I get the effect I want. Great job on your spere!
