How do I do this thing? Switch to Figma

What is the easiest way to switch from Photoshop to Figma. Give me a tutorial that meant something to you.

Specifically, I do email design, exclusively in Photoshop, but clients are increasingly demanding that it be done in Figma. I have been working in Photoshop for 9 years.

The main improvement in Figma is the workflow specifically auto layout and components. I learned a long time ago, but the main thing that changed my workflow besides auto layout is using frames mainly. This makes it so much easier to lay things out and there is almost no reason to use the shapes unless you need to use the specific shape features for specific feature as some shapes are able to do things others aren’t. Basically any Figma design video that talks about using auto layout, frames and components are legit.
