  1. I've been a graphic designer and creative director in graphic design for over 25 years. I can't rate Unmesh highly enough…so skilled, clear in his methods, and low key hilarious. Love the way in between showing you multiple ways to achieve a goal he drops in jokes like the one about his relatives.

  2. Hurray! You pronounced Gaussian correctly! I've been watching your videos for a long time and like them a lot. I was beginning to think that no YouTuber was ever going to pronounce it correctly. This makes me very happy that you got it right!

  3. I switched over to Affinity Photo 4-5 years ago. I just watched Unmesh videos because his teaching style. The guy is just absolutely incredible!! This one is so well done. You can truly tell Unmesh loves what he does. He is one-in-a-million. Now just need to replicate in AP. Thank you, Unmesh!!
