@@Khersi_Owner no problem

[@sudy0007]

Man such a beginner friendly tutorial, explained every step without any confusion, need more such thumbnail vidoes❤

[@xtxo]

this proves success doesn't come without hardwork, there's a learning curve to it

[@VerticDesigns]

That's well said 👏 and so true

[@deborahsheets2604]

By far the most impressive PS tutorial I’ve ever seen

[@staceyellis4840]

Thank you very much for this! You mention lots of helpful information about photoshop which I've found very useful

[@HunterThomasonGames]

Holy shit! I saw the thumbnail and thought there's no way I could do that. You made it so easy! Thank you!

[@DrizzmeisterRR]

This video is a life saver. thank u man

[@mindjab]

This is really good bro. I was actually hoping you’d adjust the saturation to give the thumbnail a crisp HD Look! You did not disappoint! I wanted to learn how to make thumbnails the same way a top KZbinr I watch does his! You literally shown me his secret in this video lol thank you bro

[@VerticDesigns]

Ayye that's really cool to hear and I'm glad I was the one to show you da ways haha but yeh no worries 😉 👍

[@syedmusthafa5621]

this tutorial is awesome bro

[@BouksilYounes]

Great Video thank you for the tips

[@A.BPower1994]

i just got adobe photoshop and did my 1st photo but didn't do any of this just erased what i wanted out then blured and sharpened...but i'm glad you're showing this helps me out a ton! :) i'm gonna watch these as i'm messing with photoshop

[@VerticDesigns]

ayyee welcome to Photoshop! and yeh exactly just take it at your speed and just keep using it as much as possible to keep on learning new stuff

[@A.BPower1994]

@@VerticDesigns what I haven’t learned is how to reset changes I’ve made but I’ll check ur vids since u probably already made 1 or a few different ones. But I’m gonna make sure to get better at it I was shocked when I seen what u did I was like 🤩

[@VerticDesigns]

@@A.BPower1994 and by reset do you mean the blending options? With that there's a reset button at the bottom of the options and thanks :D I always aim to make the thumbnails unique

[@Ghostye1]

BRO!!! You are the man!! Just subbed. Definitely going to make my Thumbnail better

[@VerticDesigns]

Ayye! appreciate you subbing ;) and yeh man 100% it will attract them viewers :P

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

Great stuff Wish there was more of this What I struggle is how do you overlap two backgrounds so that instead of getting the images to look horrible when contrasted each other, they have a small smidge that overlaps the two images to make it seem like they were joined together - do you have any guides on how to do that?

[@cheemsbond8245]

man im glad i found this

[@Nickname09876]

Buddy this was amazing 😊 Love from India🇮🇳 God bless you.

[@VerticDesigns]

Thanks :)

[@tiosaf1323]

Great video, thanks a lot!

[@VerticDesigns]

You're welcome 👌

[@tlalok08]

EXACTLY! what i was looking for to change things a bit! this was awesome thanks!

[@VerticDesigns]

No worries 👌

[@akshaydalvi5966]

I don't know why you have so less views but after searching for days I finally found this tutorial to help me create a professional thumbnail. Everyone else on KZbin just tells me to keep adding drop shadow and a stroke but this look is what convinces me more. That motion blur trick is just super dope. The overall result is SUPER DOPE! Thanks for these mate and pls don't stop making these tutorials.

[@VerticDesigns]

Reading your comment just made my day :) I'm honestly glad you mentioned that because I always like to make my thumbnails unique to stand out so it's cool hearing that you liked the motion blur effect and this tutorial 👌

[@Destroyer42005]

thanks as a new youtuber this really helped

[@VerticDesigns]

Aye I'm glad and you're welcome

[@DevilMcry-ut2rb]

I love your Skills wow 👍👍👍👍

Good video thank you

Yeh true its a compact video

[@ceciliousman]

What photoshop are you using man?

[@CV19_YT]

Is this also possible on photopea

[@frankierodriguez866]

Im 1000th like yep

[@Ghalibo757]

he's the goattt

[@angryjoegaming]

My vivid light for the gradient never looks like yours. It just looks like it makes everything way brighter. The only thing that even resembles yours is using overlay. What am I doing wrong? I am following your tutorial to a "T".

[@mutiiYT]

How can i make thumbnails about old games? (1990 - 2015)

[@lethalboii_7594]

TY

[@VerticDesigns]

Np

[@chimod6232]

i honestly dont want to switch to another video on the very first step of the process lmao

[@supriyaghosh7622]

U just earned a sub 👍

[@VerticDesigns]

Appreciate it 😁

[@SomeGuy...]

Where did u get the screenshot ? google ?

[@VerticDesigns]

The official Battlefield 2042 trailer on KZbin. Their video is in 4K which is perfect for taking clear screenshots like this

[@GUNNERPK]

Very nice brother 😊

[@VerticDesigns]

Thanks :D

[@powerstanik]

well done

[@VerticDesigns]

Thanks

[@iscottjones]

Would you create a tutorial for a Minecraft thumbnail? They are very different from typical gaming thumbnails. So it would be interesting to see how you can apply these techniques and maybe improve the typical Minecraft thumbnail.

[@VerticDesigns]

funny thing is.. I actually used to make Minecraft thumbnails haha that was my very first content on my gaming channel and yeh I know exactly what you mean. Big game with a lot of videos on YT so thumbnail has to be really good. For me I used to use Cinema 4D for custom poses and stuff to stand out but I could consider making a tutorial. I do have some ideas in mind plus today there's a lot of tools out there like Ai, 3D rigs / models, map rigs etc.

[@affebanane3039]

Where do you get transparend pngs of the game title you are playing?

[@VerticDesigns]

For the one in the video I took a screenshot on the Battlefield 2042 trailer and used the pen tool to remove the background but there's lots of websites out there with png materials if you need to quickly use them for a project

Can u please make a video on human object gaming thumbnail. I mean to say that if i am a channel owner and i want to use my image in thumbnail and also some characters of gaming hope you'll understand what i want

[@VerticDesigns]

Yeh it's pretty much the same with people and characters you just cut them out and place them in the thumbnail. I've done a similar video on making a horror game themed thumbnail

[@coomon3036]

Is there a website where I can get those color names? Like u said in the video fffff

[@VerticDesigns]

Yeh there's websites out there that have colour hexcodes which you can copy and paste if you want certain colours you just browse, copy and paste the code into photoshop

[@Ninawitme]

you dont have to tell us which colour to set and saying these useless letters to find the colour you particularly need, just explain what each setting and tweak does and the viewer will choose what colours and setting he prefers and needs himself. Just weird how you focused so much on which colours you choose when it all comes down to what each of us prefers more and there are barely any blueprints on what to use specifically

[@VerticDesigns]

Yeh I totally get you

[@Ninawitme]

@@VerticDesigns other than that pretty clear and a nice tutorial, keep it up man
