start the video now we are here in Photoshop in this case you can use the free version of
Photoshop which is called the photo it's a very easy to use at the same like Photoshop you can use
the photopia for now first we're going to create a blank document to do that I'm going to get the
4 document you can go with the HD version but I like to go with the full HD after creating the
document we're going to collect our images to use in the background after that we're going to go to
the Google and then going to search for the Dark Room background and now here you can see there's
a lot of dark room background go to the image section and then we're going to find out what
is the best images that going to be work with our background or with our thumbnails after searching
for a long time I found out that this images is going to be quite good for our work so I'm going
to use this one after that we're going search for the fir flare PNG we need to find the best
fir flare that works best with our background I think this image is for perfect for our background
so I'm going to download this one and then we're going to start editing after downloading all the
images from Google we're going to start our next step now here I open my image that I'm
going to use in our thumbnail so I have already removed the background and make all the editing
if you want to know how I do that you can check out my previous thumbnail where I show all of
the process what you need to do when it come to editing images removing backgrounds and a
lot of things now before taking the images in the thumbnail first you're going to create the
background I'm going to introduce this image in the background and then I'm going to play the
image perfectly and just scale it perfectly with our thumbnail canvas next we're going to apply
gion blur into our thumbnail after that we're going to take a solid color then we're going
to choose a very dark color and hit okay change the blending mode into soft light after applying
the color let's apply the background elements that we downloaded from preck after that we're
going to use our fir flare as a background change the blending mode into screen and then go to the
adjustment layer take H saturation now create a clipping MK directly to the bottom layer and
then change the Hue I mean the color of the fire flare and turn it into our background
[Music] color and then we're going to introduce our model in the thumbnail scale
down the image and just adjust it perfectly and place it perfectly with our thumbnail
[Music] after that we're going to create the glowing effect that we usually use in
our thumbnail to do that first create a blank layer then fill it with black color change
the black color into screen then go and create another blank layer and create a clipping mask
again go to the adjustment layer and take the gradient map now here the choose the gradient
color into white white and black in this left and right side and in the middle choose a color
that you like to place or you like to use in the thumbnail after that if you want to adjust the
color you can just double click over here and then change the color into any kind of color
you like to go with I really like to go with the purple color and I really like how it's
looking I'm going to also change the color of our background element which is fir flare the
color into around a rich purple color and then I'm going to do all of the adjust adment that's
[Music]
needed I really like to go with the blue color and I really like that how it's looking after
that we're going to create again the glowing effect in the foreground of the model to do
that select all the three layers of gradient map blank layer and also Layer Two press Al or option
on your keyboard and then take all the layers in the top of the image then delete the middle
layer and create another blank layer now take the brush tool and ruse the size of the brush
and also reduce the opacity around 70 to 80% then apply that glowing effect around the body of the
[Music] image [Music]
now here we're going to take some time and apply our glowing effect around the
model in this case to do the same thing you going to choose the SMUD tool and
then apply that color same as like me do the same following steps and do all the
things as like me and you're going to get the same glowing effect around the
body it requires time when it's come to do glow effect like this one it requires
time so you need to be take some time and just be patient to do and apply the color
so just take your time and apply that color around the body and do the same thing as like
[Music]
me
[Music] 0:05:59.640,1193:02:47.295 [Music]
I [Music]
[Music] I [Music]
and there you can see we just applied our glowing effect around the body and it's
looking so good and I think it's looking it's giving that kind of highlights to our thumbnail
and giving a more Direction and also what I like to say is stand out our model from the
background and also tracting the papers and after applying the glowing effect
next we're going to introduce our thumbnail with that we're going to use as a sample in
the background or in the thumbnail now take a time and adjust all the thumbnails and place it
[Music] perfectly after placing that we're going to apply stroke and also drop [Music] shadow
[Music]
and the next step is to apply text effect or what I calls the layer style in our
[Music]
thumbnail
[Music]
after writing down the text and also adjusting the
size next steps double click on the layer then first apply the
[Music]
gradient
after that apply the inner
[Music] Shadow and after that apply the outer glow in this case it's too much so we need to be adjust
the outer glow a little bit that's going to be look natural and also attractive not too much
and not too less and then for final we're going to apply our drop shadow in this case you can adjust
the drop shadow by siid sprit and also the opacity and other things you can follow the same style as
mine and then you can achieve the same kind of text effect as like mine that I created for this
[Music]
thumbnail now you can see we just create our text effect now we're going to place
the same text effect for the other text to do that press alt or option on your
keyboard then select the effect and paste it to the other text and you can see it's
apply the same text effect for this two same layer now again we're going
to apply another text now this time we're going to adjust the text by clicking over
[Music] here we're going to change the text color into different one to do that first we're
going to adjust the the gradient also the inner Shadow stroke and also we need to be adjust the
drop shadow if we need it's completely depends on you if you want to change it or if you want
to keep it you can go with the same as like mine after that we're going to introduce an
arrow in the thumbnail we're going to adjust it and just we're going to make a little bit
like a curve that pointing to the thumbnail text to the thumbnails so it's going to be
give that same thing as like me you can just follow the step it's very easy to do
[Music]
now after adjusting the arrow uh we're going to apply Color overlay drop shadow to make all the
adjustment and then we're going to hit okay now after creating the thumbnail and all the things
now we need to do a subtle changes and also make all the adjustment with the color that
we going to introduce in our thumbnail so you can just take it your time and apply it
or you can just leave it because it depends on you if you want to apply that color or not in
this case I like to go and apply the color and I really like to use the color in a different
way so it's more standout and also attractive to the viewers and there you can see we just
make all the adjustment also we are almost done to create the thumbnail for the final
we're going to introduce our camera filter to do that First Press shift Control Alt e
it going to create a snapshot then convert that layer into smart object and then go to
the filter and Camera filter as like I always say in the camera filter it depends on you
how much color you like to go with how much the color you like to introduce in your thumbnail so
it's completely depends on you you need to be experiment and also find out what is best for
[Music]
you [Music]
[Music] I found out that this color is best for my thumbnail and I'm really happy with
that amount of color grading and also all the things and there you can see we are
done to create the thumbnail now I just show you all the process step by step where I can
